Although data resources have some characteristics with other corporate resources, such as people, goods or money, they do not have two specific characteristics. They are not relatively scarce, neither are they inherently allocatable. However, they do have value, both positive or negative. The value is derived from the fact that the entire enterprise depends on their availability for the proper management of all the other resources. Organizations are now beginning to treat data as a resource, which requires the same degree of administration and control as is involved in the management of other resources. A key component in this management and control is the Data Dictionary/Directory System. It is a useful tool, throughout a System Development Life Cycle.

Analysis within the Systems Development Life-Cycle: Book 1, Data Analysis—The Deliverables provides a comprehensive treatment of data analysis within the systems development life-cycle and all the deliverables that need to be collected in analysis. The purpose of deliverables is explained and a number of alternative ways of collecting them are discussed. This book is comprised of five chapters and begins with an overview of what ""analysis"" actually means, with particular reference to tasks such as hardware planning and software evaluation and where they fit into the overall cycle. The next chapter introduces the main concepts that will be used throughout the rest of the book, along with the main diagrammatic techniques that will be used to represent the deliverables. The discussion then turns to important categories of concept; what facts to collect about entity types; what facts to collect about attribute types; and the deliverables of the data design part of the systems development cycle. The final chapter summarizes all the deliverables and puts them into the context of the systems development cycle by describing the ""systems engine""—the ""meta-model"" of the systems development life-cycle. This monograph will be of interest to systems analysts and designers.

Analysis within the Systems Development Life-Cycle: Book 2, Data Analysis—The Methods describes the methods for carrying out data analysis within the systems development life-cycle and demonstrates how the results of fact gathering can be used to produce and verify the analysis deliverables. A number of alternative methods of analysis other than normalization are suggested. Comprised of seven chapters, this book shows the tasks to be carried out in the logical order of progression—preparation, collection, analysis of the existing system (which comprises the tasks of synthesis, verification, and approval)—and in each case how the input from the previous task is converted to the output for the next task until the final output—the verified approved deliverables—is obtained. The first chapter puts analysis into its place in the Systems Development Cycle (SDC) and explains what analysis really means. The next chapters cover, in logical sequence of dependency, the actual tasks of data analysis. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are described in the context of the life-cycle as a whole and in terms of the reliability of raw input, time problems, and so on. Each of the data models obtained using the different methods can be combined and subsequently refined using a number of step-by-step checks. The final chapter shows how the meta-model can be expanded by considering the intermediate outputs of the tasks of data analysis. This text will be of interest to systems analysts and designers and those who are involved in expert systems.

In any software design project, the analysis of stage documenting and designing of technical requirements for the needs of users is vital to the success of the project. This book provides a thorough introduction and survey on all aspects of analysis, including design of E-commerce systems, and how it fits into the software engineering process. The material is based on successful professional courses offered at Columbia University to a diverse audience of advanced students and professionals. An emphasis is placed on the stages of analysis and the presentation of many alternative modeling tools that an analyst can utilise. Particular attention is paid to interviews, modeling tools, and approaches used in building effective web-based E-commerce systems.
