(DFDs) by aligning input and output data flows correctly. It is applied to maintain consistency
throughout a sequence of diagrams, encompassing input and output data flows, data definition, and
process descriptions. Balancing guarantees the preservation of input and output data flows from the
parent DFD to the child DFD.
Data dictionary - A data dictionary, also known as a data repository, serves as a centralized
repository of information concerning a system's data. It is utilized by analysts to collect, document,
and organize specific details about the system, such as the contents of data flows, data stores,

, entities, and processes. Additionally, the data dictionary defines and describes all data elements and
meaningful combinations of data elements.
