Development of a Data Dictionary: For Use in a Distributed Integrated Database.

Abstract

A data dictionary was developed that can be used on an integrated database that is geographically distributed. The content, logical representation, and physical representation of the data dictionary were presented. A study of the best way to distribute this dictionary was made by simulating several proposed distributions. Thousands of messages were run against each simulated distribution. The best distribution was found after determining the average response time of a message. (Author)
