\begin{block}{}
A \emph{weak entity set} is an entity set without a primary key.
\pause
\begin{itemize}
\item The existence of a weak entity set depends on the existence of
an \emph{identifying entity set}.
\pause
\item There must be a total, one-to-many relationship set
from the identifying entity set to the weak entity set.
This \emph{identifying relationship} is depicted by a double diamond.
\pause
\item The $\disc{\text{\emph{discriminator}}}$ is a partial key,
it distinguishes the\\[-.6ex] weak entity only in combination with the identifying entity.
\pause
\item Primary key of the weak entity set is a combination of the discriminator
and primary key of the identifying entity set.
