Data Flow Diagram

Definition :
A data-flow diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of the "flow" of data through an
information system. DFDs can also be used for the visualization of data processing (structured

On a DFD, data items flow from an external data source or an internal data store to an internal
data store or an external data sink, via an internal process.
