Explain the concept of data dictionary and interoperability in the process of database implementation and design

Objectives:

Explain the concept of data dictionary and interoperability in the process of database implementation and design (VI.K.1- BL3)

TASKS:

You have been working with a vendor in the implementation of a new database to track all release of information requests received by your facility.  Since you are part of the core team involved in the implementation process, the vendor has requested that you review the data dictionary that will be used as part of the implementation and training for the new database.

Review the table below and validate the information being presented to determine if the data elements selected conform to acceptable “good database design principles.”  You must identify any interoperability issues you may anticipate as this database will interphase with other systems used in the organization.
