PODS documentation With each new release, the PODS Technical Committee updates the 1500+ page PODS Data Dictionary. This document describes the tables and columns contained within the PODS Pipeline Data Model. It also defines the data types, constraints, foreign keys, and references contained within the data model. The Data Dictionary also provides an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) for each table in the data model and the executable code to build each table in the database. All of the relevant documentation for each new release of the PODS Pipeline Data Model is contained within the PODS release .zip files available for member download from the PODS website. Formal PODS documentation which is not release-specific is also posted on Wiki-PODS. Draft PODS documentation is also available on Wiki-PODS during the development process. The intent of posting draft documentation is to invite PODS member companies to test and comment on their company’s experience with the information presented, so that the final product has the widest, most comprehensive applicability. 17
