DART Data Dictionary Subteam Function and Charter

The DART Data Dictionary Subteam seeks to document data used for reporting within OU’s reporting community.  These are often in the form of data definitions, data FAQs, and data guidance documents.

Falling under the over-arching DART charter, the DART Data Dictionary Subteam Charter is:  

Enhance the Data Dictionary documentation with clear definitions and one version of the truth; extend the dictionary’s usefulness to all reporting platforms where possible; develop data dictionary entries for existing data store objects; develop data dictionary entries for new objects added to the data store, and for API streams (if needed); develop data dictionary ‘help resources’ for distribution via website and by other means.  Communicate to the DART Chair and/or Data Governance Coordinating Committee any critical data issue, data definition issue, data security issue, reporting tool issue, questions of project priority or resources, issues requiring a decision between conflicting views or alternatives, and issues that have broad implications.
