From Dr. John Hoenig June 2006
1. Every time you make a change to a database, enter your name, the date, and a description and justificatin of the change.
2. Data must be proofread at least once. Enter name of person doing the checking and date the data were checked.
3. Every database should have embedded in it an explanation of every column heading, every symbol used, etc.
4. A person examining a database should be able to understand it without having to look elsewhere for explanations.
Pretty much excludes .xlsx files…
