Changes

Design will be built upon a relational database model. I will be referencing this article on database design as I develop the design (http://en.tekstenuitleg.net/articles/software/database-design-tutorial/one-to-many.html), and I will be creating an ER diagram using [https://erdplus.com/#/standalone ERDPlus] or [https://creately.com/app/?tempID=hqdgwjki1&login_type=demo# Creately].

The scripts for querying data for the patent database exist in McNair/software/scripts/patent. If the design for the schema of the database tables are altered too much, may have to write new scripts.
