TOPICA Basic Class DataDictionary |
[This is preliminary documentation and is subject to change.]
The DataDictionary class models the Data Dictionary, which is a key part of any TOPICA application containing configured inputforms (and hence: a dynamically defiend data model).
The Data Dictionary contains metadata on the dynamic data model - i.e. data describing tables, fields, etc.
