Chapter 7 Data Management
Data management involves collecting data and reporting information. The
following categories describe the concept of data management on a 900
Series HP 3000 system:
* Collecting data: the data entry process, including validating.
* Organizing data: analysis of data and its relationships;
development of an appropriate data structure after analyzing the
requirements of the application; for example, producing a logical
record layout or schema.
* Storing data: the process of installing data in a meaningful
form. This is the task of taking raw data and reformatting it for
application programs to use.
* Accessing data: the retrieval of data for further processing.
This includes additional reorganization or reduction of data for
reports or other uses of the data.
