    The document discusses developing a data flow diagram (DFD) model for a library information system. It explains that a DFD uses a top-down approach, starting with an abstract level 0 context diagram and then decomposing the diagram into more detailed levels. The context diagram shows the system as a single bubble interacting with external entities and data flows. Higher level DFDs introduce more process details by decomposing parent processes into sub-processes and data flows.

    Data Flow Diagram

    OBJECTIVE

    • Develop Data Flow Diagram.


    • Context Diagram.
    • Decomposition
    • Library Information System.
    DEVELOP DFD MODEL OF SYSYEM
     A DFD model of a system graphically depicts the transformation of the
    data input to the system to the final result through a hierarchy of level.
     The top level DFD is called the level 0 DFD or the context diagram.
     A DFD starts with the most abstract definition of the system and at
    each higher level DFD, more details are successively introduced.
     To develop a higher-level DFD model, process are decomposed into
    their sub-processes and the data flow among these sub-processes is
    identified.
     To develop the data flow model of a system, first the most abstract
    representation of the problem is to be worked out. The most abstract
    representation of the problem is also called the context diagram. After,
    developing the context diagram, the higher-level DFDs have to be
    developed.
    CONTEXT DIAGRAM

    • The context diagram is the most abstract data flow


    representation of a system. It represents the entire
    • system as a single bubble. This bubble is labeled according to
    the main function of the system.
    • The various external entities with which the system interacts
    and the data flow occurring between the
    • system and the external entities are also represented. The data
    input to the system and the data output from the system are
    represented as incoming and outgoing arrows. These data flow
    arrows should be annotated with the corresponding data
    names.
    • The context diagram is also called as the level 0 DFD.
    DECOMPOSITION

     Include all entities and data stores that are directly connected by
    data flow to the one process you are breaking down.
     Show all other data store that are shared by the processes in this
    breakdown.
     Decomposition at further level 1 DFD have processes with label
    1.0, 2.0, 3.0, … and so on.
