Data Dictionaries

Dorieh generates a data dictionary for every domain directly from its data model: a page for every table, a page for every column with its derivation formula, clickable table-level and column-level lineage diagrams, and alphabetic indexes of tables and columns. Because the dictionary is produced from the same definitions that build the database, it cannot drift from the deployed schema; regenerating it is part of the documentation build. The concepts behind these artifacts are described in fine-grained lineage.

A second, smaller dictionary is generated for the climate tutorial’s Bronze–Silver–Gold model; Part 3 of the tutorial, Constructing data dictionaries and lineage graphs, walks through generating it yourself and explores the resulting artifacts, including the alphabetic table list and column list.

To generate a dictionary for your own domain, see the Data Dictionary Generation tool and the regeneration recipe on the Medicare dictionary page.
