Abstract :
The development of the GIRD (global information resources dictionary) is shown. The representation method of the GIRD is described, beginning with a review of the TSER (two stage entity relationship) and including a manufacturing shop-floor control example to illustrate the concepts. The conceptual development of GIRD and its structure are detailed. The implementation of GIRD is described. Comparisons of the GIRD with the IRDS (information resources dictionary system) standard are made. Continuing research and development are reported
