[edit] Example
Does anyone have an example of a Data Dictionary?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.213.72.2 (talk • contribs)
Or a template?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 233.109.211 (talk • contribs)

[edit] DBMS Data Dictionary vs. an abstract Data Dictionary definition
The definition of a Data Dictionary in the context of a DBMS seems very similar to the one used by Oracle(r). Do other DBMSs have a similar definition of a Data Dictionary? That is, is this definition extensible to ther DBMSs?
The statement "...it may include both semantics and representational definitions for data elements" seems to me to be part of a definition of a more abstract data dictionary (than one just within a DBMS).
May be the more abstract definition a Data Dictionary would be better appearing before the more detailed definition of one within the context of a DBMS.
