 Data Processing Cycle
Data processing consists of three steps constitute the data processing
cycle
- input
- processing, and
- output.

Input processing output

 Input the input data is prepared in some suitable form
for processing. The form will depend on the
processing machine.
- hard disk, CD, flash disk and Data of employers
 Processing the input data is changed to produce data
in a more useful form.
- Steps and rule and instruction how input change in to out
put the process of ms office excel application
 Output the result of the proceeding processing step is
collected.
 For example, output data may be payroll.
 Data types from Computer programming perspective
programming languages clearly include the notion of data type,
1. Integers(int)- is used to store whole numbers,
mathematically known as integers (0-9)
2. Characters(char)- is used to store a single character (A-Z)
3. Alphanumeric strings(string)- used to store a combination
of characters and numbers
This data type defines:-
- the operations that can be done on the data
- the meaning of the data and
- the way values of that type can be stored.
 Data types from Data Analytics perspective
1. Structured Data is a pre-defined data model and is therefore
straightforward to analyze.
- conforms to a tabular format examples of structured data are Excel
files or SQL databases …
2. Semi-structured Data Semi-structured data is a form of structured
data contains tags or other markers
- it is also known as a self-describing structure. Examples of semi-
structured data include html and XML …
3. Unstructured Data Unstructured data is information is not
organized in a pre-defined manner.
- other than text this results in irregularities and ambiguities examples
of unstructured data include audio, video files …
 Data Value Chain
Explain the following terms
1. Data Acquisition
2. Data Analysis
3. Dilacerating
4. Data Storage
5. Data Usage
  Basic concepts of big data
Big data is the term for a collection of data sets so
large and complex that it becomes difficult to
process using on-hand database management
tools or traditional data processing applications.
In this context, a “large dataset” means a dataset
too large to reasonably process or store with
traditional tooling or on a single computer.
Big data is a blanket term for the non-traditional strategies
and technologies needed to gather, organize, process,
and gather insights from large datasets.
 Big data is characterized by 3V and more:
 Volume: large amounts of data Zeta
bytes/Massive datasets •
 Velocity: Data is live streaming or in motion
 Variety: data comes in many different forms from
diverse sources •
 Veracity: can we trust the data? How accurate is
it? etc.
