Data Dictionary Design as a Stepping-Stone to DBMS (Data Base Management System) Implementation in the Indonesian Army Data Collecting and Processing Service

摘要

The organizational structure, tasks, and system configuration of the Indonesian Army Data Collecting and Processing Service (DISPULLAHTAD) are presented briefly in order to provide a background for succeeding discussions. Features of available data dictionary systems (DDS) and the initial design of a data dictionary for current applications at DISPULLAHTAD are presented. Finally, based on that initial design, a recommendation for database management system (DBMS) implementation is discussed.
