Deliverables Resulting from These Activities

1. Physical meta data repository database

   This is the physical database of the meta data repository. Its tables, columns , primary keys, foreign keys, and CRUD authorization are defined to the DBMS with Structured Query Language (SQL) instructions containing DDL and DCL statements.

2. Meta data repository test plan

   The test plan should state the purpose for each meta data repository test and show a schedule for running the tests in a predetermined sequence. It should also describe the test cases, including input criteria and expected output results. A test log should document when the tests were run, who ran them, and what the test results were.

3. Meta data repository programs

   All meta data migration programs, access interface programs, tool interface programs, report programs, query scripts, and online help function programs for the meta data repository should be coded and tested. If a meta data repository product is being used, all of the meta data repository product functions should be tested .

4. Meta data repository program library

   All meta data repository programs and scripts should reside in the meta data repository program library. The entire meta data migration process, as well as the meta data application functions, should have been integration or regression tested and QA/acceptance tested.

5. Meta data repository production documentation

   Meta data repository production documentation includes the following:

   - Operating procedures for operations staff covering all scheduled meta data repository jobs

   - Meta data repository reference guide for the help desk and the business people with instructions on how to use the meta data repository

6. Meta data repository training materials

   The training materials for internal meta data repository training should include presentation slides, instructor notes, student workbooks, exercises and their solutions, and any additional pertinent handouts.
