Data Design Checklist

   

The following list summarizes the necessary steps to create a good data design:

  • Develop an understanding of which applications will use your directory initially and in the future.

  • Create a data policy statement.

  • Create a data source inventory for your entire organization.

  • Create a list of the data elements needed by each directory-enabled application.

  • Characterize each data element according to

    - Format

    - Size of each value

    - Number of distinct values

    - Data ownership and restrictions

    - Consumers

    - Frequency of changes in values (dynamic versus static)

    - Range of applicability (shared versus application-specific)

    - Relationships with other data elements

  • Examine the application-specific lists to locate overlap among data elements.

  • Create a plan for managing the relationships between data sources.
