  2. Data system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_system

    In education, a data system is a computer system that aims to provide educators with student data to help solve educational problems. [3] Examples of data systems include Student Information Systems (SISs), assessment systems, Instructional Management Systems (IMSs), and data-warehousing systems, but distinctions between different types of data systems are blurring as these separate systems ...

  3. Data processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_processing

    A data processing system is a combination of machines, people, and processes that for a set of inputs produces a defined set of outputs. The inputs and outputs are interpreted as data, facts, information etc. depending on the interpreter's relation to the system. A term commonly used synonymously with data or storage (codes) processing system ...

  4. Data-intensive computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-intensive_computing

    Data-intensive computing is a class of parallel computing applications which use a data parallel approach to process large volumes of data typically terabytes or petabytes in size and typically referred to as big data. Computing applications that devote most of their execution time to computational requirements are deemed compute-intensive ...

  5. Big data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_data

    Big data technologies, like business intelligence, cloud computing, and databases; Visualization, such as charts, graphs, and other displays of the data; Multidimensional big data can also be represented as OLAP data cubes or, mathematically, tensors. Array database systems have set out to provide storage and high-level query support on this ...

  6. Data (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_(computer_science)

    In computer science, data (treated as singular, plural, or as a mass noun) is any sequence of one or more symbols; datum is a single symbol of data. Data requires interpretation to become information. Digital data is data that is represented using the binary number system of ones (1) and zeros (0), instead of analog representation.

[1] IT forms part of information and communications technology (ICT). [2] An information technology system (IT system) is generally an information system, a communications ...

  8. Data lake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_lake

    A data lake is a system or repository of data stored in its natural/raw format, [1] usually object blobs or files. A data lake is usually a single store of data including raw copies of source system data, sensor data, social data etc., [2] and transformed data used for tasks such as reporting, visualization, advanced analytics, and machine ...

  9. Data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure

    A data structure known as a hash table.. In computer science, a data structure is a data organization and storage format that is usually chosen for efficient access to data. [1] [2] [3] More precisely, a data structure is a collection of data values, the relationships among them, and the functions or operations that can be applied to the data, [4] i.e., it is an algebraic structure about data.
