In computing, data is information that has been translated into a form that is more convenient (E.g. binary digital form) to move or process. 

In computer component interconnection and network communication, data is often distinguished from "control information," "control bits," and similar terms to identify the main content of a transmission unit.

In telecommunications, data sometimes means digital-encoded information to distinguish it from analog-encoded  information such as conventional telephone voice calls. Data transmission can often be sent with intermittent connections.

An electronic interface within a computer and its modem to a public telephone line. DAAs are required in any device that attaches to the public switched telephone network  (PSTN).

An application program interface (API) available with Microsoft's Visual Basic that lets a programmer request access to a Microsoft Access database. DAO objects encapsulate Access's Jet functions.

Any process in which information is gathered and expressed in a summary form, for purposes such as statistical analysis. A common aggregation purpose is to get more information about particular groups based on specific variables.

Analysis of data is a process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and modeling data with the goal of discovering useful information, suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision making. Data analysis has multiple facets and approaches, encompassing diverse techniques under a variety of names, in different business, science, and social science domains.

A Data Analysts main responsibilities includes finding, retrieving, wrangling, and delivering insights from data. Data Analyst also help to report and uncover meaningful insights from the data underlying products. Specifically, they are responsible for obtaining, analyzing, and reporting on data ranging from business metrics to user behavior and product performance.

The science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information. Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope, purpose and focus of the analysis. 

A data architect is a professional who is concerned with designing, creating, deploying and managing an organization's data architecture. Data architects define how the data will be stored, consumed, integrated and managed by different data entities and IT systems, as well as any applications using or processing that data in some way.

Data Architecture basically deals with designing and constructing data resource. Data Architecture is comprised of models, policies, rules or standards that govern which data is collected, and how it is stored, arranged, integrated, and put to use in data systems and in organizations.Data Architecture also covers data resource components.

The process of moving inactive data to a separate data storage device for long-term retention. Data archives consist of older data that is still important and necessary for future reference,and data that must be retained for regulatory compliance. 

An information provision and distribution model in which data files are made available to customers over a network, typically the Internet. DaaS offers convenient and cost-effective solutions for customer- and client-oriented enterprises. 

A term that refers to all data in computer storage while excluding data that is traversing a network or temporarily residing in computer memory to be read or updated. Data at rest can also be archival or reference files that are changed rarely.

A term used to describe products and services that ensure that data continues to be available at a required level of performance in situations ranging from normal through "disastrous". 

A backup, or the process of backing up, refers to the copying and archiving of computer data so it may be used to restore the original after a data loss event
