APPENDIX A: DATA ELEMENT STANDARDIZATION LIFE CYCLE
Each standard data element will have a standardization status assigned to it in the Coast Guard Data
Administration Dictionary System (DADS). These elements include: development element,
candidate element, approved element, installed element, and archived element. Each status marks
the progress of the element through the data standardization process. Following is a description of
each status:
1.
Development Element. The status assigned to a data requirement that has been identified
and defined by the developer but has not yet been submitted to Commandant (G-SIA) for
review. A development status element can be a data element or a change to an existing data
element. In addition, a development status element can be a data element alias. The system
developer may modify an element with this status.
