	Data flow diagram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Data flow diagrams were invented by Larry Constantine, the original developer of structured design, based on Martin and Estrin's "data flow graph" model of computation.
		Data flow diagrams (DFDs) are one of the three essential perspectives of SSADM.
		Data that flows into a process should be different from the data that flows out of the process.

	Data Flow Diagram (DFD)
		The data flows of the opened process are connected in the new diagram to the process with the name of the opened process.
		Data flows between an actor and a diagram are inputs to and outputs of the diagram.
		A forked (converging or diverging) data flow is either a split or merging data flow, or a composite data flow.

	Data Flow Diagram
		The diagrams consist of symbols for terminators, data flows, processes, and files.
		All terminators have at least one data flow entering or leaving the terminator.
		Data flows are symbolized by arrows and the flows are in the direction that the arrows point.

	Oracle Physical Design Data Flow Diagram Dictionary Process Logic Specifications Functional Decomposition
		Data Flow Diagram (DFD) The DFD is a set of top-down diagrams which depict all processes within a system, the data flow among the processes, and the data stores.
		Rather, the DFD is augmented by a data dictionary that describes all of the data flows and files, and a set of process logic specifications that describes how each process transforms data flows.
		In traditional systems analysis, data dictionary definitions for all data items are normalized, or grouped, into database entities, which become entity/relationship models in the database design phase.

	Data Flow Diagramming Technique
		Data Flow Diagramming is a means of representing a system at any level of detail with a graphic network of symbols showing data flows, data stores, data processes, and data sources/destinations.
		Data flow diagrams are supported by other techniques of structured systems analysis such as data structure d iagrams, data dictionaries, and procedure-representing techniques such as decision tables, decision trees, and structured English.
		A data flow diagram is not a flowchart and should not have loops or transfer of control.

	Data Flow Diagram (DFD)
		The arrows in DFDs show that there is a flow of data between the two components and not that the component is sending the data that must be executed in the following component.
		The information flow continuity, that is all the input and the output to each refinement, must maintain the same in order to be able to produce a consistent system.
		DFDs are inappropriate to use in a large system because if changes are to be made on a specific unit, there is a possibility that the whole DFD need to be changed.

	Introduction to Data Flow Diagram (DFD)s
		DFDs show the flow of data from external entities into the system, showed how the data moved from one process to another, as well as its logical storage.
		DFDs can be used to model processes that are purely physical, purely electronic, or more commonly a mix of both.
		A data flow must be attached to at least one process.

		Data stores may be long-term files such as sales ledgers, or may be short-term accumulations: for example batches of documents that are waiting to be processed.
		Resource flows are usually restricted to early, high-level diagrams and are used when a description of the physical flow of materials is considered to be important to help the analysis.

		Each data flow may be referenced by the processes or data stores at its head and tail, or by a description of its contents.
		Furthermore, in common with most of the other symbols used, a data flow at a particular level of a diagram may be decomposed to multiple data flows at lower levels.
		Data flows and resource flows are allowed between processes and external entities and between processes and data stores.

	AIS: Data Flow Diagramming
		When a search is launched for raw data with which to populate a model, the DFD provides the cage to bring it back alive.
		Data items thus discovered are cataloged in a data dictionary, then subjected to algorithms for normalization and aggregation into entities of a data model or entity-relationship diagram.
		Nonetheless, the data flow diagram remains one of the best techniques available for developing a comprehensive inventory of data items in a problem space.

	Data Flow Diagram Example
		To correctly draw the data flow diagram, question must be asked such as, "What information is needed to rent video a video?" A VIDEO RENTAL ITEM (which may be either a video cassette or a video game), a PAYMENT, and a CUSTOMER ID (a rental card) are required from the CUSTOMER.
		Notice that the names of the data flows going into and out of the processes are different, indicating that something has transformed input data to produce output.
		The CUSTOMER RECORD is also an interface data flow but is connected on 2-level diagram to the CUSTOMER data store, since data stores on the parent diagram may also be included on the child daigram.
