Uses for the data dictionary

A data dictionary is modeled in the Classification application as a library. The Classification administrator can build a customer-specific hierarchy under one or more libraries for organizing data, for example, signals and interfaces.

Depending on access privileges, users can then:

• Create, modify, and delete data from the dictionary.
• Associate a project or program with one or more dictionaries. Typically, the product design data is also associated with the same project or program.
• Search the dictionary for data meeting specified criteria.
• Add data from the dictionary to a functional, logical, or physical model structure.
• Create signals in structures and associate them with interfaces and connections.
