Data Resource Management

Data resource management is the application of information systems to manage an organization's data to meet business needs. It involves organizing data into basic components like characters, fields, entities, attributes, records, files, and databases. Databases can be flat files, single-user, or multiple-user depending on their structure and access. Larger databases include data warehouses which aggregate data from across a company, data marts which focus data for specific groups, and data mining which analyzes patterns in data warehouses.

1. DATA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT


A managerial activity that applies information systems technologies to the task of managing an organizations data resources to meet the information needs of their business stakeholders

2. Definition:
a. CHARACTER Basic building block of information. A character can be an Uppercase Letter (A, B, C, Z), Lowercase Letter (a, b, c, z), Numeric Digit (0, 1, 2, 9) or Special Symbols (., !, [+], [-], /, )

b. FIELD Is typically a name, number or combination of characters that describes an aspect of a business object (such as an employee, a location or truck) or activity (such as sales). In addition to being entered into a database, Fields can be computed from other fields. Computed Fields include, total, average, maximum and minimum value.

c. ENTITY Is a generalized class of people, places or things (objects) for which data is collected, stored and maintained. Examples of entities include employees, inventory and customers. Most organizations organize and store data as entity.

d. ATTRIBUTE Is a characteristic of an entity. For example, employee numbers, last name, first name, hire date and department number are attributes for an employee. Attributes are usually selected to reflect the relevant characteristics of entities such as employees or customers. The specific value of an attribute, called a Data Item, can be found in the fields of the record describing an entity.

e. RECORD It is a collection of related data fields. By combining description of the characteristics of an object or activity, a record can provide a complete description of the object or activity. For example, an employee record is a collection of fields about an employee.

f. FILE It is a collection of related records. For example, an employee file is a collection of all company employee records. Likewise, an inventory file is a collection of all inventory records for a particular company or organization.

g. DATABASE Is a n organized collection of data. Collection of integrated and related files. Together, bits, characters, fields, records and database form the Hierarchy of Data. Characters are combined to make a field, fields are combined to make a record, records are combined to make a file, and files are combined to make a database. A database houses not only all these levels but the relationships among them.

3. Types of Database:
a. FLAT FILE Is a simple database program whose records have no relationship to one another. Flat File Databases are often used to store and manipulate a single table or file, and do not use any of the database models, such as the relational model. b. SINGLE USER Only one person can use the database one at a time. Database for personal computers are most often meant for a single user. Access and FileMaker Pro are examples of popular single-user DBMSs, through which users store and manipulate data. c. MULTIPLE USER These more powerful, expensive systems allow dozens or hundreds of people to access the same database system at the same time. Popular vendors for multiuser DBS include Oracle, Sybase and IBM. These DBMSs can handle the most complex of data-processing tasks.

4. Define:
a. DATA WAREHOUSE Is a database that holds business information from many sources in the enterprise, covering all aspects of the companys processes, products, and customers. The Data Warehouse provides business users with a multidimensional view of data they need to analyse business conditions. Allows managers to drill down to get more detail or roll up to take detailed data and generate aggregate or summary reports. It is designed specifically to support management decision making.

b. DATA MARTS Is a subset of a data warehouse. Data Marts bring the Data Warehouse concept- online analysis of sales, inventory and other vital business data that has been gathered from transaction processing systems. Most useful for smaller groups who want to access detailed data. Puts targeted business information into the hands of more decision makers.

c. DATA MINING Is an information-analysis tool that involves the automated discoveries of patterns and relationships in Data Warehouse. Like gold, Data Mining sifts through mountains of data to find a few nuggets of valuable information. For example, it is used to extract detailed information about its customers to increase profits and sales. Its objective is to extract patterns, trends, and rules from data warehouse to evaluate (i.e., product or score) proposed business strategies which in turn will improve competitiveness, increase in profit and transform business processes.
