Answer to Question 1

An entity identifier is an attribute or group of attributes that is used to name or identify instances of an entity class. Unlike a key in the relational model, an entity identifier is more of a logical concept. It is simply an attribute that the users think of as distinguishing between entity instances in their environment.
