Data Dictionary Systems and Their Role in Information Resource Management
Abstract
The explosive proliferation of computers has led to the increasing importance of developing and implementing various management concepts for effective and efficient operation and control. The complex data processing environment of today cannot be handled by hardware alone, but require an information system composed of hardware, software, data, personnel and procedures. The vast storage capabilities of modern equipment had led to the development of databases for more effective and efficient use of memory capacity. The increasing importance of software and the cost of developing and maintaining it demands more and better management, giving rise to the software life cycle concept. With the automation of the functions of an organization, data and information become critical organizational resources. Information Resource Management provides effective and efficient management and control of these information resources. A key component in this management and control is the Data Dictionary System.
