You Can Do With Data/The Information Architecture of an Organization What is the difference between data and information? Give examples. Data = discrete‚ unorganized‚ raw facts Quantity Sold‚ Course Enrollment‚ Customer Name‚ Discount‚ Star Rating. Information = transformation of those facts into meaning. Financial data (deposits)‚ daily loans. What is a transaction? Action performed in a database management system What are the characteristics of an operational data store? Stores

DATA DICTIONARY Data Dictionaries‚ a brief explanation Data dictionaries are how we organize all the data that we have into information. We will define what our data means‚ what type of data it is‚ how we can use it‚ and perhaps how it is related to other data. Basically this is a process in transforming the data ‘18’ or ‘TcM’ into age or username‚ because if we are presented with the data ‘18’‚ that can mean a lot of things… it can be an age‚ a prefix or a suffix of a telephone number‚ or basically

The Difference Between Data Centers and Computer Rooms By Peter Sacco Experts for Your Always Available Data Center White Paper #1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The differences between a data center and a computer room are often misunderstood. Furthermore‚ the terms used to describe the location where companies provide a secure‚ power protected‚ and environmentally controlled space are often used inappropriately. This paper provides a basis for understanding the differences between these locations

Turnage‚ Bonebright‚ Buhman‚ Flowers (1996) showed that untrained participants can listen to shapes. That is‚ they used data sonification – musical representation of two dimensional space‚ with pitch as the vertical dimension and time as the horizontal dimension – to present participants the visual and auditory representation of waveforms. In two conditions‚ they showed the participants could match one visual presentation to one of two auditory representations‚ or match one auditory presentation

Networks Volvo utilized data mining in an effort to discover the unknown valuable relationships in the data collected and to assist in making early predictive information. It created a network of sensors and CPUs that were embedded throughout the cars and from which data was captured. Data was also captured from customer relationship systems (CRM)‚ dealership systems‚ product development and design systems and from the production floors in their factories. The terabytes of data collected was streamed

Using the Standard Deviation You made a number of observations about the data sets for the school activities. You used mean and median to measure the center of the data‚ and you used the interquartile range (IQR) to measure the spread. When outliers are present‚ the median and IQR are used to measure center and spread because they are unaffected by extreme values. When the data appears to be symmetric and there are no known outliers‚ the mean and standard deviation (another measure of spread)

1. Data Processing- is any process that a computer program does to enter data and‚ summarize‚ analyze or otherwise convert data into usable information. The process may be automated and run on a computer. It involves recording‚ analyzing‚ sorting‚ summarizing‚ calculating‚ disseminating and storing data. Because data are most useful when well-presented and actually informative‚ data-processing systems are often referred to as information systems. Nevertheless‚ the terms are roughly synonymous‚ performing
