CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

Model a Level 1 data flow diagram for a university library system that manages book cataloging, member records, and borrowing/return transactions.

Key decisions

  • External entities (Librarian, Member) are represented as rectangles; processes as rounded boxes; data stores as cylinders.
  • Labeled arrows carry data flows such as 'Book details' and 'Loan request'.
  • Processes interact with multiple data stores (Books DB, Members DB, Loans DB) to maintain consistency.

When to reuse this

Applicable when documenting data flows in a library or any system with distinct cataloging, member management, and transaction (borrow/return) workflows.
