100% VERIFIED
data dictionary - ANSWER A data dictionary is a collection of descriptions of the data objects
or items in a data model for the benefit of programmers and others who need to refer to
them.
data integrity - ANSWER Integrity, in terms of data and network security, is the assurance that
information can only be accessed or modified by those authorized to do so. Measures taken
to ensure integrity include controlling the physical environment of networked terminals and
servers, restricting access to data, and maintaining rigorous authentication practices.
data mining - ANSWER Data mining is sorting through data to identify patterns and establish
relationships. Data mining parameters include: 1) Association - looking for patterns where one
event is connected to another event 2) Sequence or path analysis - looking for patterns where
one event leads to another later event 3) Classification - looking for new patterns (May result
in a change in the way the data is organized but that's ok) 4) Clustering - finding and visually
documenting groups of facts not previously known and 5) Forecasting - discovering patterns
in data that can lead to reasonable predictions about the future.
data modeling - ANSWER Data modeling is the analysis of data objects that are used in a
business or other context and the identification of the relationships among these data
objects.
data warehouse - ANSWER A data warehouse is a central repository for all or significant parts
,of the data that an enterprise's various business systems collect.
database - ANSWER A database is a collection of information that is organized so that it can
easily be accessed, managed, and updated.
field - ANSWER A field is an area in a fixed or known location in a unit of data such as a
record, message header, or computer instruction that has a purpose and usually a fixed size.
In some contexts, a field can be subdivided into smaller fields.
file - ANSWER In data processing, using an office metaphor, a file is a related collection of
records. For example, you might put the records you have on each of your customers in a file.
object-oriented database management system - ANSWER An object-oriented database
management system (OODBMS), is a database management system (DBMS) that supports the
modeling and creation of data as objects. This includes some kind of support for classes of
objects and the inheritance of class properties and methods by subclasses and their objects.
raw data - ANSWER Raw data (sometimes called source data or atomic data) is data that has
not been processed for use. A distinction is sometimes made between data and information
to the effect that information is the end product of data processing. Raw data that has
undergone processing is sometimes referred to as cooked data.
record - ANSWER In computer data processing, a record is a collection of data items arranged
for processing by a program. Multiple records are contained in a file or data set.
, relational database - ANSWER A relational database is a collection of data items organized as
a set of formally-described tables from which data can be accessed or reassembled in many
different ways without having to reorganize the database tables.
Structured Query Language (SQL) - ANSWER SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standard
interactive and programming language for getting information from and updating a
database. Although SQL is both an ANSI and an ISO standard, many database products
support SQL with proprietary extensions to the standard language.
Application Service Provider (ASP) - ANSWER An application service provider (ASP) is a
company that offers individuals or enterprises access over the Internet to applications and
related services that would otherwise have to be located in their own personal or enterprise
computers.
B2B - ANSWER On the Internet, B2B (business-to-business), also known as e-biz, is the
exchange of products, services, or information between businesses rather than between
businesses and consumers.
B2C - ANSWER B2C is short for business-to-consumer, or the retailing part of e-commerce on
the Internet. It is often contrasted to B2B or business-to-business.
C2C - ANSWER A subset of the B2C category, C2C allows individuals to buy and sell items in
the marketplace.
