Question

What is an Information Resource Dictionary System (IRDS)?

Answer

The Information Resource Dictionary System (IRDS) is a software tool used to access and organize the information repository of organizations. It is used to store and record the organization's critical data and is also used to process the data stored in the information warehouse. 

Data can be shared between various systems when the systems are obedient to IRDS. If an organization's system is compliant with IRDS, then the description used in the system has been accessed by various systems which are all connected with IRDS.

The IRDS contains a set of rules to store the data dictionary information and how to organize it. In 1990, these rules had been accepted by the International Standards Organization (ISO) and adopted the IRDS as a standard to store the data dictionary information.
