English: A data flow diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of the flow of data through an information system. A DFD shows the flow of data from data sources and data stores to processes, and from processes to data stores and data sinks. DFDs are used for modelling and analyzing the flow of data in data processing systems, and are usually accompanied by a data dictionary, an entity-relationship model, and a number of process descriptions.
