| | Data (Star Trek) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Data was a sentient artificial lifeform designed to resemble a human. | | | As of 2005, Data's storage capacity is at least 17 times that of Google; after Data's specifications were initially noted on-screen, TNG began referring to quads (and derivatives) as the basic units of computer storage capacity. | | | In 2365, cyberneticist Commander Bruce Maddox obtained permission to have Data reassigned for study, wherein he would be deactivated, disassembled, and duplicated (with his knowledge and memories dumped into a computer and thereafter transferred back), possibly destroying his personality and sentience in the process. |

| | Prodigious amounts of data are now being generated in domains as diverse as market research, functional genomics and pharmaceuticals; intelligently analyzing these data, with the aim of answering crucial questions and helping make informed decisions, is the challenge that lies ahead. | | | Data Warehousing and Mining (DWM) is the science of managing and analyzing large datasets and discovering novel patterns and in recent years has emerged as a particularly exciting and industrially relevant area of research. | | | The Encyclopedia of Data Warehousing and Mining provides a comprehensive, critical and descriptive examination of concepts, issues, trends, and challenges in this rapidly expanding field of data warehousing and mining (DWM). |

| | What is data? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary |
| | Data can exist in a variety of forms -- as numbers or text on pieces of paper, as bits and bytes stored in electronic memory, or as facts stored in a person's mind. | | | This is Chapter 1 of Randall Hyde's book, "Art of Assembly Language." It describes the binary and hexadecimal numbering systems, binary data organization (bits, nibbles, bytes, words, and double words), signed and unsigned numbering systems, arithmetic, logical, shift, and rotate operations on binary values, bit fields and packed data, and the ASCII character set. | | | (3) In database management systems, data files are the files that store the database information, whereas other files, such as index files and data dictionaries, store administrative information, known as metadata. |

| | TNG - Lieutenant Commander Data |
| | Data was based on a sophisticated positronic brain developed by Soong, from concepts first postulated in the 20th century by Dr. Isaac Asimov. | | | Data's attempts to understand human nature once included an effort to learn about the concept of humor, which he studied with the assistance of Guinan and a holodeck-created comedian. | | | Although Data had initial difficulty coping with the resulting flood of emotions, a problem made worse when the chip became fused into his neural net, the chip represented a significant step in his quest to become more human. |

| | Data processing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This divergence of culture is exhibited in the typical numerical representations used in data processing versus numerical; data processing's measurements are typically represented by integers or by fixed-point or binary-coded decimal representations of real numbers whereas the majority of data analysis's measurements are often represented by floating-point representation of real numbers. | | | Practically all naturally occurring processes can be viewed as examples of data processing systems where "real world" information in the form of pressure, light, etc. are converted by human observers into electrical signals in the nervous system as the senses we recognise as touch, sound, and vision. | | | In the context of data processing, data are defined as numbers or characters that represent measurements from the real world. |

| | Developing with Core Data |
| | In order to be properly managed, a data object needs to be associated with its managed object context and an entity definition that is part of the managed object model that is being implemented by the context. | | | It allows Core Data to efficiently optimize the objects that are loaded into memory and leave unused data on disk. | | | And, since every application has some sort of data model, this was a problem that every developer had to solve independently. |

| | Data model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A data model is a model that describes in an abstract way how data is represented in a business organization, an information system or a database management system. | | | For example in the relational model all data is represented by mathematical relations (or, to be precise, a slightly generalized version thereof). | | | While simple data models consisting of few tables or objects can be created "manually", large applications need a more systematic approach. |

| | Object (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Objects exist only within contexts that are aware of them; a piece of computer memory only holds an object if a program treats it as such (for example by reserving it for exclusive use by specific procedures and/or associating a data type with it). | | | There, objects are still conceptual entities, but generally correspond directly to a contiguous block of computer memory of a specific size at a specific location. | | | In strictly mathematical branches of computer science the term object is used in a purely mathematical sense to refer to any "thing". |

| | Data bus - definition of Data bus in Encyclopedia |
| | In computer architecture, a bus is a subsystem that transfers data or power between computer components inside a computer or between computers. | | | For instance, a disk drive controller would signal the CPU that new data was ready to be read, at which point the CPU would move the data by reading the memory that corresponded to the disk drive. | | | Memory and other devices would be added to the bus using the same address and data pins as the CPU itself used, connected in parallel. |
