TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I'm any curious if any other technical writers have had to write/edit a data
dictionary for an Oracle-based software application. If there are, is it
common or appropriate to include ERwin diagrams in the manual? Is it
standard to redraw and reformat the diagrams for a less technical audience,
or is it standard to assume that system administrators will be familiar with
the somewhat obtuse ERwin notation language and "markups".
I appreciate any help and comments from the community.
