A dictionary baseline is an object containing a set of database definitions captured at a certain time. Baselines are stored internally in the Enterprise Manager repository, and are in a form that other Change Management applications can use.
Each baseline has a unique name, source database, owner, and scope specification. A baseline can have a series of versions that have been captured at different points in time. Creating multiple versions of a baseline allows you to track changes to the definitions of a set of database objects over time. You can compare two versions of the same baseline to see the changes that have occurred between them.
When creating a baseline, you also create a corresponding baseline scope specification, which describes the names and the types of database objects covering schemas from which they should be captured.
