Course Description

A data dictionary is a description of data in business terms and includes information about the data such as data types, details of the structure, and security restrictions. Unlike business glossaries, which focus on data across the organization, data dictionaries support data warehouses by defining how to use them. Content of data dictionaries often originates from the logical data model and typically results in higher-quality metadata due to a disciplined and systematic approach to managing definitions.

The “What is…?” series of data fundamentals courses, along with associated packaged Learning Plans, are meant to help data and non-data professionals build a common language and understanding between them on significant data-related topics such as Data Management, Data Governance, Data Stewardship, Data Modeling, Data Architecture, and many others.

These courses provide a means to develop a level of cooperative understanding between business users, executives, teams, and technical professionals across your organization, so that everyone can be on the same page as you move forward with your data programs and initiatives.
