Data Dictionary
A data dictionary is a structured repository of data about data.
It is a set of rigorous definitions of all DFD data elements and data
structures.
In data flow diagrams, we give names to data flows, processes, and data
stores. Although the names are descriptive of the data, they do not give
details. So following the DFD, our interest is to build some structured
place to keep details of the contents of data flows, processes, and data
store.

Advantages of Data Dictionary
Data dictionary has many advantages, some are following:
The most obvious is documentation which is a valuable reference of
any organization.
Improving analyst/user communication by establishing consistent
definitions of various elements, terms and procedures.
Data dictionary is an important step in building a data base.

Decision Tree
A decision tree has as many branches as there are logical alternatives.
It simply sketches the logical structure based on the stated policy.
Example:
Bookstores get a trade discount of 25%; for orders from libraries and individuals,
5%allowed on orders of 6-19 copies per book title;10% on orders for 20- 49 copies
per book title;15% on orders for 50 copies or more per book title.

Decision Tables
A decision table is a table of contingencies for defining a problem and
actions to be taken.
It is a single representation of the relationships between conditions
and actions.
A decision table consists of two parts: stub and entry.
The stub part divided into an upper quadrant called the condition stub
and lower quadrant called action stub.
The entry part is also divided into an upper quadrant called condition
entry and lower quadrant called action entry.
