A data dictionary, or metadata repository, as defined in the IBM Dictionary of Computing, is a "centralized repository of information about data such as meaning, relationships to other data, origin, usage, and format".ACM, IBM Dictionary of Computing, 10th edition, 1993 Oracle defines it as a collection of tables with metadata.

SET OF METADATA THAT CONTAINS DEFINITIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS OF DATA ELEMENTS
Data Dictionary; Data Dictionaries; Data Description Specifications; Data element dictionary; Data description specification
<database> A data structure that stores meta-data, i.e. data
about data. The term "data dictionary" has several uses.
Most generally it is a set of data descriptions that
can be shared by several applications.
Usually it means a table in a database that stores the
names, field types, length, and other characteristics of
the fields in the database tables.
An active data dictionary is automatically updated as changes
occur in the database. A passive data dictionary must be
manually updated.
In a DBMS, this functionality is performed by the {system
catalog}. The data dictionary is a more general software
utility used by designers, users, and administrators for
information resource management.
The data dictionary may maintain information on system
hardware, software, documentation, users, and other aspects.
Data dictionaries are also used to document the database
design process itself and can accumulate meta-data
ready to feed into the system catalog.

List of terms relating to algorithms and data structures
The NIST Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures is a reference work maintained by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. It defines a large number of terms relating to algorithms and data structures. For algorithms and data structures not necessarily mentioned here, see list of algorithms and list of data structures.
This list of terms was originally derived from the index of that document, and is in the public domain, as it was compiled by a Federal Government employee as part of a Federal Government work. Some of the terms defined are:
