What is the CCC Data Dictionary?

The CCC Data Dictionary is a system-wide data dictionary for the SuperGlue, MDM (Master Data Management), and Data Warehouse  projects. It provides metadata (i.e. information about data) such as meaning, usage, correlation to other data, origin, format, and length. 

In-progress CCC Data Dictionary example:

The CCC Data Dictionary will act as the single-source data dictionary for all data sources that integrate with the SuperGlue infrastructure. This includes, but is not be limited to, CCCApply, CC College Promise, CCCApply International, COCI, Canvas, MyPath, MDM, Canvas, Multiple Measures, EDPlan, Simplified Metrics, etc. and may also grow to include glossaries, and unstructured data as necessary. 

What is SuperGlue?

SuperGlue is the software infrastructure that is the single point of contact for data exchanged between software deployed by the California Community Colleges Chancellor's office and the software enterprise systems at the 114 individual community colleges across the state.

SuperGlue encompasses master data management (MDM) and supports student success by delivering pertinent, timely data to students, faculty, and staff.

What is Master Data Management (MDM)?

Master data management, one of the technologies that makeup SuperGlue, synchronizes data across software platforms, applies configurable business rules for what data gets shared where, and notifies and delivers that updated data according to those business rules.

What is the Data Warehouse?

The Data Warehouse is a structured master data source that can be used to generate data marts, reports, and analytics. It also encompasses a broader set of data products, including a data lake, data marts, and enabling technologies for SuperGlue and MDM.
