Data Science

4. An image, video, piece of text, that is typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations.
7. This simply means datasets (typical large collections of files) that aren't stored in a structured database format. This data has an internal structure, but it's not predefined through data models. It might be human generated, or machine generated in a textual or a non-textual format.
8. A growing list of records, known as blocks, which are linked using cryptography. It can be used to record transactions between 2 parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way.
10. The science of processing data for storage and retrieval.
12. The increasing rate at which data flows into an organisation, increased with smartphones, the internet and streaming.

1. This data is any quantifiable information that can be used for mathematical calculation or statistical analysis. This form of data helps in making real-life decisions based on mathematical derivations.
2. A diagram showing the relation between variable quantities, typically of 2 variables, each measured along one of a pair of axes at right angles.
3. The size of datasets that an organisation has collected to be analysed and processed.
5. This is when data is in a standardised format, has a well-defined structure, complies to a data model, follows a persistent order, and is easily accessed by humans and programs. This data type is generally stored in a database.
6. Data is defined as the data that approximates and characterises. This data can be observed and recorded. This data type is non-numerical in nature. This type of data is collected through methods of observations, one-to-one interviews, conducting focus groups, and similar methods.
9. Distributing computing over a network where storage of files, processing of data and/or access to software occurs automatically on interconnected server computers to which the user’s device is connected. The term refers to accessing files, software and services over the internet.
11. Specialist programming language used to manage data and access data in relational database management systems.
