1. About This Data Dictionary

FCC License View is a single portal for information on the management of licenses. The data in
License View can be used to conduct research and analysis on licenses in the FCCs databases.

Typically, to be eligible for inclusion in License View, data elements had to exist in at least three
of the following FCC Licensing Systems:

CDBS (Consolidated Database System)

COALS (Cable Operations and Licensing System).
ELS (Experimental Licensing System)
IBFS (International Bureau Filing System)
ULS (Universal Licensing System)

Exceptions are data elements market_code and market_desc, which only exist in ULS.

The data in License View is available for download. This data dictionary provides the definitions
for the data elements included in the file. It also includes information for formatting each data
element and specifies its allowable values.
