Data Cookbook Overview
The Data Cookbook is a central database that stores PSU’s administrative systems data definitions and report specifications. Although many of the terms and reports defined relate to Cognos and Banner, other systems can be incorporated. The Data Cookbook is a collaborative effort between the Office of Information Technology and the campus Data Stewards Committee, a group dedicated to creating a single version of the truth for PSU data and reporting.
