Open Compute Project
organization
isolation
property of a database system that determines how transaction integrity is visible to other users and systems
atomicity
that a transaction is either completed completely or not at all
Couchbase Server
open-source NoSQL database
consistency
property of a database system ensuring that a transaction can only bring the database from one valid state to another, maintaining database invariants (constraints, cascades, triggers etc.)
XML database
data persistence software system that allows data to be specified, and sometimes stored, in XML format
operational data store
database used for operational reporting and incoming data source for the Enterprise Data Warehouse
synthetic data
term for generated data
reference data
static or slowly changing data used to classify or categorize other data
data binding
software technique of binding and synchronizing producer and consumer data sources that differ in language or function
data aggregation
compiling of information from databases with intent to prepare combined datasets for data processing
data management plan
formal document outlining how research data will be treated
single source of truth
information systems good practice for data normalization using one source for a particular data element
master data
permanent or slowly changing data in an information system with basic information or details, such as address or customer category
clustered file system
decentralized filesystem
Distributed transaction
database transaction between two or more networks
data curation
work performed to ensure meaningful and enduring access to data
savepoint
A savepoint is a way of implementing subtransactions (also known as nested transactions) within a relational database management system by indicating a point within a transaction that can be "rolled back to" without affecting any work done in the transaction before the savepoint was created. Multiple savepoints can exist within a single transaction. Savepoints are useful for implementing complex error recovery in database applications. If an error occurs in the midst of a multiple-statement transaction, the application may be able to recover from the error (by rolling back to a savepoint) with
data hub
software for collaborating on gathering, sharing and using data
data independence
data transparency in database management system ensuring immunity of user applications to changes made in the definition and organization of data
data profiling
process of examining the data available from an existing information source (e.g. a database or a file) and collecting statistics or informative summaries about that data
data engineering
building data systems to collect and make data usable
data steward
person responsible for the management and fitness of data elements - both the content and metadata , which ensure the quality of the data and its compliance with various types of regulatory, academic and international requirements
data-stream management system
computer software system
Data Transformation Services
Microsoft database tool
digital obsolescence
situation where a digital resource is no longer readable because of its archaic format
data exchange
process of taking data structured under a source schema and transforming it into data structured under a target schema
Zettabyte Era
period of human and computer science history
software intelligence
obtaining and transforming internal behaviors and structural states in software to better understand and control complex environments
Data analysis expressions
formula and data query language
virtual data room
online repository of information that is used for the storing and distribution of documents
Network transparency
Single source publishing
content publishing method
data room
spaces used for housing data, usually of a secure or privileged nature
Data set
type of computer file existing on IBM mainframe operating systems
chunked transfer encoding
streaming data transfer mechanism in HTTP/1.1, which divides the data stream into nonoverlapping chunks sent and received independently
commit
computer operation that makes a set of tentative changes permanent
change data capture
techniques used to track the data that has changed in a database to allow reacting to the changes
Parchive
Parchive (a portmanteau of parity archive, and formally known as Parity Volume Set Specification) is an erasure code system that produces par files for checksum verification of data integrity, with the capability to perform data recovery operations that can repair or regenerate corrupted or missing data.
data auditing
data lineage
origins and events of data
record linkage
joining records or entities from different data sets that may or may not share a common identifier and matching the entities based on their properties
metadirectory
A metadirectory system provides for the flow of data between one or more directory services and databases in order to maintain synchronization of that data. It is an important part of identity management systems. The data being synchronized typically are collections of entries that contain user profiles and possibly authentication or policy information. Most metadirectory deployments synchronize data into at least one LDAP-based directory server, to ensure that LDAP-based applications such as single sign-on and portal servers have access to recent data, even if the data is mastered in a non-LD
Semantic integration
process of interrelating information from diverse sources
Data Management Association
organization that promotes concepts and practices in information management and data management
data center management
planning and operation of data centers
Navigational database
multi-model database system
database management system designed to support multiple data models against a single, integrated backend
WCF Data Services
database administration
function of managing and maintaining DBMS software
