Re: [ontolog-forum] What the difference re., Data Dictionary, Ontology,

Hi David,

No, not to my knowledge.  Data Architects, Designers, and Modelers usually only create Dictionaries as a means of "defining" data through its traits.

My Best,

Frank

A Data Dictionary defines "data" by giving you details about that data element (e.g. Attribute/Field Name, Description, Data Type, Constraints, etc.)

So a data dictionary does NOT contain artifacts such as systems, programs, data structures, subroutines, etc. and all the other systems thingies that manipulate data elements?

Just wish I could do some sort of Venn diagram here as most of these terms are heavily overlapping.

Is this description of a data dictionary saying that a metadata repository is different from a data dictionary?  

If they're different, what are the differences?
