Death \Death\, n. [OE. deth, dea[?], AS. de[a0][?]; akin to OS.       d[?][?], D. dood, G. tod, Icel. dau[?]i, Sw. & Dan. d[94]d,       Goth. daupus; from a verb meaning to die. See {Die}, v. i.,       and cf. {Dead}.]       1. The cessation of all vital phenomena without capability of             resuscitation, either in animals or plants.          Note: Local death is going on at times and in all parts of                the living body, in which individual cells and elements                are being cast off and replaced by new; a process                essential to life. General death is of two kinds; death                of the body as a whole (somatic or systemic death), and                death of the tissues. By the former is implied the                absolute cessation of the functions of the brain, the                circulatory and the respiratory organs; by the latter                the entire disappearance of the vital actions of the                ultimate structural constituents of the body. When                death takes place, the body as a whole dies first, the                death of the tissues sometimes not occurring until                after a considerable interval. --Huxley.          2. Total privation or loss; extinction; cessation; as, the             death of memory.                         The death of a language can not be exactly compared                      with the death of a plant.                  --J. Peile.          3. Manner of dying; act or state of passing from life.                         A death that I abhor.                        --Shak.                         Let me die the death of the righteous. --Num. xxiii.                                                                               10.          4. Cause of loss of life.                         Swiftly flies the feathered death.      --Dryden.                         He caught his death the last county sessions.                                                                               --Addison.          5. Personified: The destroyer of life, -- conventionally             represented as a skeleton with a scythe.                         Death! great proprietor of all.         --Young.                         And I looked, and behold a pale horse; and his name                      that at on him was Death.                  --Rev. vi. 8.          6. Danger of death. [bd]In deaths oft.[b8] --2 Cor. xi. 23.          7. Murder; murderous character.                         Not to suffer a man of death to live. --Bacon.          8. (Theol.) Loss of spiritual life.                         To be [?][?][?][?][?][?][?] m[?][?][?][?][?] is                      death.                                                --Rom. viii.                                                                               6.          9. Anything so dreadful as to be like death.                         It was death to them to think of entertaining such                      doctrines.                                          --Atterbury.                         And urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto                      death.                                                --Judg. xvi.                                                                               16.          Note: Death is much used adjectively and as the first part of                a compound, meaning, in general, of or pertaining to                death, causing or presaging death; as, deathbed or                death bed; deathblow or death blow, etc.          {Black death}.

Decease is the term used in                   law for the removal of a human being out of life in                   the ordinary course of nature. Demise was formerly                   confined to decease of princes, but is now sometimes                   used of distinguished men in general; as, the demise                   of Mr. Pitt. Departure and release are peculiarly                   terms of Christian affection and hope. A violent death                   is not usually called a decease. Departure implies a                   friendly taking leave of life. Release implies a                   deliverance from a life of suffering or sorrow.

data dictionary          A data structure that stores {meta-data}, i.e. data       about {data}.   The term "data dictionary" has several uses.          Most generally it is a set of {data descriptions} that       can be shared by several applications.          Usually it means a {table} in a {database} that stores the       names, {field} {types}, length, and other characteristics of       the fields in the database tables.          An active data dictionary is automatically updated as changes       occur in the database.   A passive data dictionary must be       manually updated.          In a {DBMS}, this functionality is performed by the {system       catalog}.   The data dictionary is a more general software       utility used by designers, users, and administrators for       {information resource management}.          The data dictionary may maintain information on system       hardware, software, documentation, users, and other aspects.          Data dictionaries are also used to document the database       design process itself and can accumulate meta-data       ready to feed into the system catalog.          [Does anybody call them "codebooks"?]          (2001-04-24)
