Data Flows



  • Data flows  are  information about some business event being tracked by the  application.  
  • A data flow  is  data or information that is  in transit. 
  • A  data flow  might be a piece of paper, a report,  a diskette,  or a computer message.  
  • Data flows  in  a diagram are directed arrows that depict data movement from one place to  another. 
  • They do not identify physical items. 
  • For example, an invoice is information  about  an  order  that  would  also  have actual goods.  A data flow  to a customer shows the invoice but not the physical goods. 
  • for each data flow,  create a definition in the data dictionary.
