Data dictionary
concepts Defining data flow Defining data structures Defining elements Defining data stores Using the data dictionary Data dictionary analysis Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 2
3.
Data dictionary
is a main method for analyzing the data flows and data stores of data-oriented systems The data dictionary is a reference work of data about data (metadata) It collects, coordinates, and confirms what a specific data term means to different people in the organization Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 3
4.
The data
dictionary may be used for the following reasons: ◦ Provide documentation ◦ Eliminate redundancy ◦ Validate the data flow diagram ◦ Provide a starting point for developing screens and reports ◦ To develop the logic for DFD processes Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 4
5.
A data
repository is a large collection of project information It includes ◦ Information about system data ◦ Procedural logic ◦ Screen and report design ◦ Relationships between entries ◦ Project requirements and deliverables ◦ Project management information Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 5
6.
Data dictionaries
contain ◦ Data flow ◦ Data structures ◦ Elements ◦ Data stores Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 6
7.
Each data
flow should be defined with descriptive information and it's composite structure or elements Include the following information: ◦ ID - identification number ◦ Label, the text that should appear on the diagram ◦ A general description of the data flow Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 7
8.
(Continued) ◦ The
source of the data flow This could be an external entity, a process, or a data flow coming from a data store ◦ The destination of the data flow ◦ Type of data flow, either A record entering or leaving a file Containing a report, form, or screen Internal - used between processes Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 8
9.
(Continued) ◦ The
name of the data structure or elements ◦ The volume per unit time This could be records per day or any other unit of time ◦ An area for further comments and notations about the data flow Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 9
10.
Kendall & KendallCopyright
© 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 10 Name Customer Order Description Contains customer order information and is used to update the customer master and item files and to produce an order record. Source Customer External Entity Destination Process 1, Add Customer Order Type Screen Data Structure Order Information Volume/Time 10/hour Comments An order record contains information for one customer order. The order may be received by mail, fax, or by telephone.
11.
Data structures
are a group of smaller structures and elements An algebraic notation is used to represent the data structure Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 11
12.
The symbols
used are ◦ Equal sign, meaning “consists of” ◦ Plus sign, meaning "and” ◦ Braces {} meaning repetitive elements, a repeating element or group of elements ◦ Brackets [] for an either/or situation The elements listed inside are mutually exclusive ◦ Parentheses () for an optional element Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 12
13.
A repeating
group may be ◦ A sub-form ◦ A screen or form table ◦ A program table, matrix, or array There may be one repeating element or several within the group Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 13
14.
The repeating
group may have ◦ Conditions ◦ A fixed number of repetitions ◦ Upper and lower limits for the number of repetitions Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 14
15.
Data structures
may be either logical or physical Logical data structures indicate the composition of the data familiar to the user Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 15
16.
Include elements
and information necessary to implement the system Additional physical elements include ◦ Key fields used to locate records ◦ Codes to indicate record status ◦ Codes to identify records when multiple record types exist on a single file ◦ A count of repeating group entries Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 16
17.
Kendall & KendallCopyright
© 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 17 Customer Order = Customer Number + Customer Name + Address + Telephone + Catalog Number + Order Date + {Order Items} + Merchandise Total + (Tax) + Shipping and Handling + Order Total + Method of Payment + (Credit Card Type) + (Credit Card Number) + (Expiration Date)
18.
A structure
may consist of elements or smaller structural records These are a group of fields, such as ◦ Customer Name ◦ Address ◦ Telephone Each of these must be further defined until only elements remain Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 18
19.
Kendall & KendallCopyright
© 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 19 Structural records and elements that are used within many different systems should be given a non-system-specific name, such as street, city, and zip The names do not reflect a functional area This allows the analyst to define them once and use in many different applications
20.
Kendall & KendallCopyright
© 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 20 Customer Name = First Name + (Middle Initial) + Last Name Address = Street + (Apartment) + City + State + Zip + (Zip Expansion) + (Country) Telephone = Area code + Local number
21.
Data elements
should be defined with descriptive information, length and type of data information, validation criteria, and default values Each element should be defined once in the data dictionary Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 21
22.
Attributes of
each element are ◦ Element ID. This is an optional entry that allows the analyst to build automated data dictionary entries ◦ The name of the element, descriptive and unique It should be what the element is commonly called in most programs or by the major user of the element Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 22
23.
◦ Aliases, which
are synonyms or other names for the element ◦ These are names used by different users within different systems ◦ Example, a Customer Number may be called a Receivable Account Number Client Number Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 23
24.
◦ A short
description of the element ◦ Whether the element is base or derived ◦ A base element is one that has been initially keyed into the system ◦ A derived element is one that is created by a process, usually as the result of a calculation or some logic Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 24
25.
The length
of an element ◦ This should be the stored length of the item ◦ The length used on a screen or printed lengths may differ Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 25
26.
What should
the element length be? ◦ Some elements have standard lengths, such as a state abbreviation, zip code, or telephone number ◦ For other elements, the length may vary and the analyst and user community must decide the final length Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 26
27.
◦ Numeric amount
lengths should be determined by figuring the largest number the amount will contain and then allowing room for expansion ◦ Totals should be large enough to accommodate the numbers accumulated into them ◦ It is often useful to sample historical data to determine a suitable length Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 27
28.
Kendall & KendallCopyright
© 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 28 Percent of data that will Element Length fit within the length Last Name 11 98% First Name 18 95% Company Name 20 95% Street 18 90% City 17 99%
29.
Kendall & KendallCopyright
© 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 29 If the element is too small, the data will be truncated The analyst must decide how this will affect the system outputs If a last name is truncated, mail would usually still be delivered A truncated email address or Web address is not usable
30.
Kendall & KendallCopyright
© 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 30 The type of data, either numeric, date, alphabetic or alphanumeric or other microcomputer formats Storage type for numeric data ◦ Mainframe: packed, binary, display ◦ Microcomputer (PC) formats ◦ PC formats depend on how the data will be used, such as Currency, Number, or Scientific
31.
Kendall & KendallCopyright
© 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 31 Bit - A value of 1 or 0, a true/false value Char, varchar, text - Any alphanumeric character Datetime, smalldatetime - Alphanumeric data, several formats Decimal, numeric - Numeric data that is accurate to the least significant digit Can contain a whole and decimal portion Float, real - Floating point values that contain an approximate decimal value Int, smallint, tinyint - Only integer (whole digit) data Money, smallmoney - Monetary numbers accurate to four decimal places Binary, varbinary, image - Binary strings (sound, picture, video) Cursor, timestamp, uniqueidentifier - A value that is always unique within a database
32.
Kendall & KendallCopyright
© 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 32 Input and output formats should be included, using coding symbols: ◦ Z - Zero suppress ◦ 9 - Number ◦ X - Character ◦ X(8) - 8 characters ◦ . , - Comma, decimal point, hyphen These may translate into masks used to define database fields
33.
Kendall & KendallCopyright
© 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 33 Validation criteria must be defined Elements are either ◦ Discrete, meaning they have fixed values Discrete elements are verified by checking the values within a program They may search a table of codes ◦ Continuous, with a smooth range of values Continuous elements are checked that the data is within limits or ranges
34.
Kendall & KendallCopyright
© 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 34 Include any default value the element may have The default value is displayed on entry screens Reduces the amount of keying ◦ Default values on GUI screens Initially display in drop-down lists Are selected when a group of radio buttons are used
35.
Kendall & KendallCopyright
© 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 35 An additional comment or remarks area This might be used to indicate the format of the date, special validation that is required, the check-digit method used, and so on
36.
Kendall & KendallCopyright
© 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 36 Name Customer Number Alias Client Number Alias Receivable Account Number Description Uniquely identifies a customer that has made any business transaction within the last five years. Length 6 Input Format 9(6) Output Format 9(6) Default Value Continuous/Discrete Continuous Type Numeric Base or Derived Derived Upper Limit <999999 Lower Limit >18 Discrete Value/Meaning Comments The customer number must pass a modulus-11 check-digit test.
37.
Data stores
contain a minimal of all base elements as well as many derived elements Data stores are created for each different data entity, that is, each different person, place, or thing being stored Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 37
38.
Data flow
base elements are grouped together and a data store is created for each unique group Since a data flow may only show part of the collective data, called the user view, you may have to examine many different data flow structures to arrive at a complete data store description Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 38
39.
The Data
Store ID The Data Store Name, descriptive and unique An Alias for the file A short description of the data store The file type, either manual or computerized Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 39
40.
If the
file is computerized, the file format designates whether the file is a database file or the format of a traditional flat file The maximum and average number of records on the file The growth per year ◦ This helps the analyst to predict the amount of disk space required Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 40
41.
The data
set name specifies the table or file name, if known ◦ In the initial design stages, this may be left blank The data structure should use a name found in the data dictionary Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 41
42.
Primary and
secondary keys must be elements (or a combination of elements) found within the data structure Example: Customer Master File ◦ Customer Number is the primary key, which should be unique ◦ The Customer Name, Telephone, and Zip Code are secondary keys Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 42
43.
Kendall & KendallCopyright
© 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 43 ID D1 Name Customer Master File Alias Client Master File Description Contains a record for each customer File Type Computer File Format Database Record Size 200 Maximum Records 45,000 Average Records 42,000 Percent Growth/Year 6%
44.
Kendall & KendallCopyright
© 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 44 Data Set/Table Name Customer Copy Member Custmast Data Structure Customer Record Primary Key Customer Number Secondary Keys Customer Name, Telephone, Zip Code Comments The Customer Master file records are copied to a history file and purged if the customer has not purchased an item within the past five years. A customer may be retained even if he or she has not made a purchase by requesting a catalog.
45.
Data dictionary
entries vary according to the level of the corresponding data flow diagram Data dictionaries are created in a top-down manner Data dictionary entries may be used to validate parent and child data flow diagram level balancing Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 45
46.
Whole structures,
such as the whole report or screen, are used on the top level of the data flow diagram ◦ Either the context level or diagram zero Data structures are used on intermediate- level data flow diagram Elements are used on lower-level data flow diagrams Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 46
47.
1. Information
from interviews and JAD sessions is summarized on Input and Output Analysis Forms ◦ This provides a means of summarizing system data and how it is used 2. Each structure or group of elements is analyzed Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 47
48.
3. Each
element should be analyzed by asking the following questions: ◦ A. Are there many of the field? If the answer is yes, indicate that the field is a repeating field using the { } symbols ◦ B. Is the element mutually exclusive of another element? If the answer is yes, surround the two fields with the [ | ] symbols Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 48
49.
◦ C. Is
the field an optional entry or optionally printed or displayed? If so, surround the field with parenthesis ( ) 4. All data entered into the system must be stored ◦ Create one file or database file for each different type of data that must be stored ◦ Add a key field that is unique to each file Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 49

Data stores
may be determined by analyzing data flows Each data store should consist of elements on the data flows that are logically related, meaning they describe the same entity Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 50

To have
maximum power, the data dictionary should be tied into other programs in the system When an item is updated or deleted from the data dictionary it is automatically updated or deleted from the database Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 51
52.
Data dictionaries
may be used to ◦ Create reports, screens, and forms ◦ Generate computer program source code ◦ Analyze the system design for completion and to detect design flaws Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 52
53.
To create
screens, reports, and forms ◦ Use the element definitions to create fields ◦ Arrange the fields in an aesthetically pleasing screen, form, or report, using design guidelines and common sense ◦ Repeating groups become columns ◦ Structural records are grouped together on the screen, report, or form Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 53
54.
The data
dictionary may be used in conjunction with the data flow diagram to analyze the design, detecting flaws and areas that need clarification Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 54
55.
Some considerations
for analysis are ◦ All base elements on an output data flow must be present on an input data flow to the process producing the output ◦ Base elements are keyed and should never be created by a process Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 55
56.
◦ A derived
element should be output from at least one process that it is not input into ◦ The elements that are present on a data flow into or coming from a data store must be contained within the data store Kendall & KendallCopyright © 2002 by Prentice Hall, Inc. 10- 56
