BIG DATA

Big data refers to the large, diverse sets of information that grow at ever-increasing rates. It
encompasses the volume of information, the velocity or speed at which it is created and
collected, and the variety or scope of the data points being covered. Big data often comes from
multiple sources and arrives in multiple formats. (Segal, 2019).

Example:

An example of big data might be petabytes (1,024 terabytes) or exabytes (1,024 petabytes) of
data consisting of billions to trillions of records of millions of people all from different sources
(e.g. Web, sales, customer contact center, social media, mobile data and so on). The data is
typically loosely structured data that is often incomplete and inaccessible.

2. DASHBOARD

Dashboard is a user interface that, somewhat resembling an automobile's dashboard, organizes

and presents information in a way that is easy to read. However, a computer dashboard is more
likely to be interactive than an automobile dashboard (unless it is also computer-based). To some
extent, most graphical user interfaces (GUIs) resemble a dashboard. However, some product
developers consciously employ this metaphor (and sometimes the term) so that the user instantly
recognizes the similarity.

Example:

Microsoft's Digital Dashboard tool incorporates Web-based elements (such as news, stock
quotes, and so on) and corporate elements (such as e-mail, applications, and so on) into Outlook.

3. DATABASE

A database (DB), in the most general sense, is an organized collection of data. More
specifically, a database is an electronic system that allows data to be easily accessed,
manipulated and updated. In other words, a database is used by an organization as a method of
storing, managing and retrieving information. Modern databases are managed using a database
management system (DBMS).

Example:
An example of database is IBM Db2®which it is a family of hybrid data management products
offering a complete suite of AI-empowered capabilities designed to help you manage both
structured and unstructured data on premises as well as in private and public cloud environments.
Db2 is built on an intelligent common SQL engine designed for scalability and flexibility.

4. DATA

Data is any set of characters that is gathered and translated for some purpose, usually analysis. It
can be any character, including text and numbers, pictures, sound, or video. If data is not put into
context, it doesn't do anything to a human or computer. Within a computer's storage, data is a
series of bits (binary digits) that can have the value one or zero. Data is processed by the CPU,
which uses logical operations to produce new data (output) from source data (input).

Example:

An example of data is mobile data where with smartphones and other mobile devices, data is a
term used to describe any data transmitted over the Internet wirelessly by the device.

5. DATA ANALYSIS

Data Analysis is the process of systematically applying statistical and/or logical techniques to
describe and illustrate, condense and recap, and evaluate data. According to Shamoo and Resnik
(2003) various analytic procedures “provide a way of drawing inductive inferences from data
and distinguishing the signal (the phenomenon of interest) from the noise (statistical fluctuations)
present in the data.”

Example:

An example of Data Analysis software is ROOT which it is an object-oriented program and

library developed by CERN. It was originally designed for particle physics data analysis and
contains several features specific to this field, but it is also used in other applications such as
astronomy and data mining.

6. DATA MINING

Data mining is a process used by companies to turn raw data into useful information. By using
software to look for patterns in large batches of data, businesses can learn more about their
customers to develop more effective marketing strategies, increase sales and decrease costs. Data
mining depends on effective data collection, warehousing, and computer processing.

Example:

In medicine, data mining enables more accurate diagnostics. Having all of the patient's
information, such as medical records, physical examinations, and treatment patterns, allows
more effective treatments to be prescribed. It also enables more effective, efficient and cost-
effective management of health resources by identifying risks, predicting illnesses in certain
segments of the population or forecasting the length of hospital admission. Detecting fraud and
irregularities, and strengthening ties with patients with an enhanced knowledge of their needs are
also advantages of using data mining in medicine.

7. DATA WAREHOUSE

A data warehouse is a repository for data generated and collected by an enterprise's various
operational systems. Data warehousing is often part of a broader data management strategy and
emphasizes the capture of data from different sources for access and analysis by business
analysts, data scientists and other end users. It is a relational database housed on a mainframe,
another type of enterprise server or, increasingly, in the cloud.

Example:

An example of data warehouse is Amazon Redshift. It is a simple and cost-effective tool to

analyze all types of data using standard SQL and existing BI tools. It also allows running
complex queries against petabytes of structured data, using the technique of query optimization.

8. INFORMATION

Information is organized or classified data, which has some meaningful values for the receiver.
It is the processed data on which decisions and actions are based.

Source: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/computer_fundamentals/computer_data.htm

Example:

Examples are Time Table, Merit List, Report card, Headed tables, printed documents, pay slips,
receipts, reports etc. The information is obtained by assembling items of data into a meaningful
form.
