, RTF Rich Text Format
Rich Text Format A file format that lets you exchange text files between different word processors in
different operating systems. Unlike a basic text file, a ___ file can include
information such as text style, size, and color.
Database A collection of data organized in a manner that allows access, retrieval, and use of
that data
Universal Serial Bus (USB) A standard port for connecting computers in a network that supports data transfer
rates of up to 12 million bits per second.
USB Universal Serial Bus
Digital Video Disk (DVD) Optical storage format that can store any kind of digital data. Has the same
dimensions as a Compact Disc but with a higher storage capacity.
magnetic tape An older secondary storage medium used in recording sound, pictures, or computer
data. Made of a thin, magnetizable coating on a long, narrow strip of plastic film.
Has a long lifespan of several decades but requires special equipment to access.
Data extraction can be cumbersome.
acid-free paper Paper with low levels of sodium chloride and sulfates and therefore has a longer life
span then paper that contains acids. Has a pH level of 7.0 or greater
Vellum Calfskin prepared as a surface for writing or painting. Often used interchangeably
with parchment. Lasts in excess of 1,000 years
Diazo film A photographic film with an emulsion of diazonium salts that is exposed using
ultraviolet light and developed with ammonia. The process is not permanent and is
unsuitable for preservation copies. These films are frequently blue-black, purple-
black, or brown-black in color, compared with the gray tones of silver halide. They
are very unstable in the presence of light and will fade easily, even when film is
heavily used on microfilm readers. Therefore these films are not considered archival
quality and are primarily used for dispensable or frequently updated materials. Life
expectancy of 100 years
search string The combination of all text, numbers and symbols entered by a user into a search
engine to find desired results.
Data migration (steps) 1. Identify the original records or data 2. Export into a different format or new
software. 3. verify the authenticity and integrity of data. 4. Maintain in the new
software system and provide access. 5. If appropriate, delete records from the
original system
Advantages of optical storage a. High capacity with relatively low cost b. Life expectancy of rewriteable disks
between 10 and 40 years c. Life expectancy of read only disks of 100 years or more
