The DBA_ views are the DBAs windows into the data dictionary. These views contain condensed versions of the Dollar tables in a readable format. USER_ views provide a similar window into the user/owner object database details for each user. The ALL_ views contain information for every object the user has access to or has the privelage of using. These views are hidden from users by not declaring public synonyms against them. Note that views with the word RESOURCE apply to database profiles. Resources are part of profiles.
The DICTIONARY view shows a list of all data dictionary views in the database.
