What is Dataflow? Part 3: Doing the Practical

Apologies for the delay in getting this next section up - past few weeks have been super busy and then, hilariously, I was ill last week.

Read Part 1 here.

Read Part 2 here.

In Part 2 I wrote about how important diagrams have been throughout history. Understanding the 'big picture' has been important for every triumph of engineering. From bridges to skyscrapers to oil rigs and wind turbines, all of these have had diagrams backed by international standards which enabled them to be built.

The digital world hasn't quite managed that yet. In the other posts I've tried to drill home the point that modern digital businesses are often extremely siloed, communication and documentation isn't there and there is a lack of a common language between 'Business' and 'IT'.

This lack of understanding means organisations do not understand how data flows through their business and their supply chain.

It's the understanding of dataflow that's important here because it enables organisations to focus on optimising, securing and maintaining flows across an organisation rather than siloed teams patching things up where they can and not understand the upstream and downstream impact on the business.

Method and Layers

Going to preface this by saying that this may come across as complete common sense, and to some extent you'll be completely correct!

This is an example of how to create a very basic dataflow. But I will first start with understanding all of the People, Processes and Technology that I use to post on Tumblr.

So I start with six layers:

Ownership

Business Process

Application

System

Hardware

Infrastructure

What is important to remember here is that you do not have to be a specialist in every single layer.

A Business Analyst will feel much more at home in the Business Process Layer, while an Infrastructure Manager will be much more knowledgeable about the Infrastructure layer.

The important thing is that this Business & IT Diagram allows them to communicate more efficiently.

Let's Build a Dataflow!

In this example - There's an 'AyeforScotland' Element (the rectangle!) at the top. I'm the owner of everything below that element. The black lines are 'connections' representing the connectivity between the different elements.

Following the example, I'm responsible for' managing my blog 'Blog Management' which breaks down into smaller processes: Draft posts, schedule posts, answer anon abuse, and reblog shitposts.

Coming down to the Application Layer (red) - You can see that I draft and schedule posts using Tumblr Desktop and I'm using Firefox Web Browser for that.

But for answering anon abuse and reblogging shitposts, I'm using the Tumblr App.

In the Systems layer you can see I'm using Windows 11 on my PC (Hardware) and I'm using iOS on my iPhone.

Both my PC and iPhone connect to my BT Router.

And that's it for this Business & IT Diagram. I've shown clearly how I'm responsible for the processes and how I use the technology to perform those processes. I don't necessarily need to show everything on a single diagram because it would lose clarity.

This next Business & IT Diagram is much smaller, and establishes the relationships and dependencies on Tumblr to provide the service. And that's because we're complying with the laws and rules of a methodology.

In this diagram (probably need to zoom in to see it) I'm at the top left as 'AyeforScotland' and my 'BT Router' is spatially below me. Following the rules and laws of the method, that maintains the relationship that I have with the BT Router, I own it.

But I don't own the small 'Internet' that's next to it horizontally. I've simplified the concept of the internet for this example.

There's also two owners - 'Automattic' which owns and operates 'Tumblr' below it, with Tumblr being responsible for the 'Provision of Tumblr Services'.

Now naturally 'provision of Tumblr services' will break out into loads of sub-processes. Tumblr could map out their entire organisation (and if they need a hand, they can DM me!) But for this dataflow it's not really required.

Now both diagrams above are not dataflows. But close your eyes for a second and you can visualise what they are.

But because we've created our two diagrams, we understand the connectivity and using the software we can create the dataflow.

Now again, this is very basic. But when you put things into a dataflow context, you can put this down in front of a wide range of people from different business disciplines and they can start to optimise how the business works.

Here's a much larger Dataflow example, that you won't be able to read because it exceeds A0 printing size, but it should convey the scale.

If any of the connections or elements fail along this dataflow - The dataflow stops.

This costs organisations time and/or money.

So understanding dataflows allows IT people to articulate to business people "Hi boss, if this server goes down it will bring down this dataflow and cost the business $10,000 an hour" - Suddenly it's in a language they understand.

It helps with strategic decision-making, it helps with communication, it helps document how things *actually* work as opposed to how people think they work, and once you switch to thinking in terms of 'dataflow' it's hard to stop.

Conclusion

I can't wait to answer all the questions on the back of this.

Also one area I didn't go into is that each of the elements (rectangles) can also hold data (Financial data, Technical Specs, Risk & Cybersecurity metrics, Governance documentation etc).

It's also really easy to get started with it. You can start in any of the layers based on your area of work.

Junko's the Ultimate Analyst, right? So if she analyzes someone's Talent, then she can reproduce it.

Which means - like with Sakura or Akane - she could learn some sick fighting moves.

But Junko is still a scrawy ass starving model (reference: she's 5'7" and 97lbs; that girl is starving and has no muscle), so she can mimic all of the techniques but she does not have the muscle memory to keep it up and she will wear out pretty quickly. If Junko doesn't win within, what, the first five minutes? ten minutes? she's out.

(Fighting Junko is like fighting Sans. It's an endurance thing. She will wear herself out. Eventually. And then you bop her on the head and keep going.)

i absolutely love playing with the data visualizations on citizen dj and creating what is to other people apparently auditory sensory hell but to me is the correct amount of noise anything should make. please try it

every day I wake up and wish I had access to cyberpunk stuff written by someone who really truly absurdly loves computers

[whimsicaltwine]

gahhhh argh I'm a history student for a reason man, I'm working ahead and reading up on pre modern city structure and it's so much more interesting and easy to understand,,,,, the author is giving me new databases to explore,,,,,, ohhhhh my god I cannot wait to be done with the geography

sorry i dont know who this is for other than me but i cant stop thinking about kjsfg cube (1997) as an infinite flow novel ever since i said that. i think being in an infinite flow novel would fix me (NO IT WOULDNT THEY STRESS ME OUT SO BAD but they compel me)

i looked up that star trek scene about terrorism and irish unification and totally forgot the bit where picard basically says 'please no maoists'

💝what is a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?

💥find your least kudos'd fic - say something wonderful about it.

💝what is a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?

If You Dare! My hakizana fics are not usually SUPER popular, but they tend to garner at least a little interest, but that one didn't even get a blip 🤣Too bad, that one was going to get smutty in the next chapter or two. ONE DAY.

💥find your least kudos'd fic - say something wonderful about it.

That would be To My Esteemed Enemy with three whole kudos, which is both surprising and not, because it's a fic with a pairing that is more popular than my main ship in that fandom, but it 1) doesn't have any ship content in it yet, 2) is using canon characterization of Kazama, which displeases the people who want him to be a sexy villain and also the people who want him to be a uwu good boy trying his best. It's easy to say something nice about this, because I spent HOURS poring over Hakuouki lore to get this into shape and was SO PLEASED with the results. It just needs a few more chapters to really find an audience, I think, but I don't have the time right now to put my effort into it.

Data Flow Diagram Assignment Help: Expert Guidance for Students

An important tool of system analysis and design is the data flow diagram, DFD. It represents how data move within the system, showing information flow from one process, one database, or sometimes to an external entity. Many computer science, information systems, or business analysis students are required to submit DFD assignments as part of their coursework, but creating an accurate and detailed DFD is quite challenging. That's where The Tutors Help provides expert assistance in making your assignments easier and, thus, more effective.

What Is a Data Flow Diagram (DFD)?

A Data Flow Diagram is a graphical representation that displays the flow of data within a system. It gives one an insight into the structure of a system and also into interactions among various components. DFDs are considerably applied in software engineering, database management, and business process modeling.

There are two primary types of DFDs.

Context Diagram (Level 0 DFD): Gives a general view of the system and how it interacts with the outside world.

Detailed DFDs (Level 1, Level 2, etc.): Break down the system to small components showing the internal processes and data flow within the system.

Problems That Students Encounter With DFD Assignments

Understand Symbols Used in DFDs: Use of DFD symbols involves several symbols including circles for processes, arrows to depict data flow, rectangles to refer to external entities, and open-ended rectangles as data stores. Most students always make errors regarding the symbols to be used.

System Complexity: Some exercises will require decomposing a system to more than one level that proves confusing

Logic Flow Error Issues: Student facing problems is logical flow issues on data.

Software tools: Most students make DFDs using the supports of software such as Microsoft Visio, Lucidchart, or Draw.io. This becomes challenging for that student who might not be knowing how to employ these software resources.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: Wikipedia is great because anyone can contribute information to a topic. It's also terrible for that same reason, especially because it means certain users can be put in a position to bully other users, and create campaigns to vandalize certain topics in a way that's viewed as acceptable

running into this recurring issue where I'll read a job description and just. not understand what the company does or what I would be doing for them. and I can't decide if I'm just stupid or if stuff like "we power our employees' potential and strive to create opportunity and security for every member of the team" is genuine word salad.

and I think maybe if you can't explain your company or job in 1-2 sentences to someone's grandpa I think maybe your company or job shouldn't exist.

I have a 20-40 page paper due next Tuesday and these are like one of the only things that are bringing me joy right now amid the stress lol

Pineapple, Piano, Microphone, April, Fool, Free and Carrot

Eyyy that is such a mood, I have my grad thesis due next Sunday, like ahhhhh, will I get my Masters? Who knows xp, at least I'll have fanfiction :D

Like a fool, he had believed him.

“Hm, I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Buck plays at obliviousness, though he loosens his grip slightly, so Chris can wiggle free.

Most I saw coming, but that fact that I didn't have April threw me off, like what do you mean? With this fic im writing no April? Whack
