10.1. Question 1: Meaning of "one-to-one"

What does it mean to say that an association is "one-to-one"? It means that it is (select one):

  1. O Bidirectional

  2. O Both functional and total

  3. O Functional

  4. O Both functional and inverse functional

10.2. Question 2: When to Check Referential Integrity

A referential integrity constraint for a reference property p with domain class C and range class D has to be checked whenever (select one or many):

  1. ☐ An object of type C is destroyed.

  2. ☐ The value of p is changed for some object of type C.

  3. ☐ A new object of type C is created.

  4. ☐ An object of type D is destroyed.

  5. ☐ A new object of type D is created.

10.3. Question 3: Meaning of "Functional"

A unidirectional binary association is functional if and only if (select one):

  1. O Each object of the source class is linked to at most one object of the target class.

  2. O Each object of the target class is linked to at most one object of the source class.

  3. O Each object of the source class is linked to at least one object of the target class.

  4. O Each object of the source class is linked to exactly one object of the target class.

10.4. Question 4: Object Destruction Dependency

Assume that we have an object type B with a standard identifier attribute id and an object type A with an ID reference attribute b_id referencing B::id. Further, assume that there is an object b of type B with b.id = 11 and an object a of type A referencing b with a.b_id = 11. Which of the following statements are correct? Select one or many:

  1. ☐ The object b can be destroyed when the ID reference in object a is unassigned (by setting a.b_id to undefined in JS or to null in Java) and there is no other object that references b.

  2. ☐ The object a can only be destroyed when b has been destroyed before.

  3. ☐ The object b can be destroyed when the ID reference in object a is reset to another object of type B, e.g. by setting a.b_id = 7 and there is no other object that references b.

  4. ☐ The object b can be destroyed when a has been destroyed before.

10.5. Question 5: Rendering a Single-Valued Reference Property

Which of the following statements about a single-valued reference property p and how it should be rendered in a web user interface by a suitable form control are correct? Select one or many:

  1. ☐ An adequate rendering is obtained by using an input control with type="text".

  2. ☐ If the cardinality of p's range is not greater than 7, it can be rendered by a check button group.

  3. ☐ If the cardinality of p's range is not greater than 7, it can be rendered by a radio button group.

  4. ☐ It can always be rendered by a single-select control.

10.6. Question 6: Expressing a Functionality Type

Which of the following terms can be used for expressing that an association is neither functional nor inverse functional?

O one-to-one O one-to-many O many-to-one O many-to-many
