5 Minute Metadata - What is a data dictionary?

In this video we help unpack the key components of data dictionaries and how they relate to data and metadata. We also help explain how a data dictionary can give additional context to a collection of data to help people understand data better.

Some of the key components of a data dictionary that are covered in this video are:
The short name of the data element or column
A longer definition that describes the data
The type of data that was collected
And if applicable, a list of possible values
