ER Diagrams

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right medium but I have a question to ask. What are some of the tables you would include in an ER diagram for creating a database for a encyclopedia using SQL. I really would appreciate your help! -- modified at 11:09 Wednesday 18th January, 2006

Gosh! That's a bit vague. Okay an encyclopaedia is made up of entries. An entry can have cross references (normally, these days it would be hyperlinks within the text), but lets say there is a See Also section at the end of each article rather than through the text. So an Articles table, and a References table. I can't think of much else because an encyclopaedia is a free flowing thing. What do you think needs to be included?
