10512396774Iterativeinvolving repetition2
10512396775Filteringsetting conditions on a data set so that only certain data is displayed; for example, "only show words in a list that are longer than 5 letters"3
10512396776Clusteringgrouping data sets together to provide an argument that a pattern exists4
10512396777Data classificationthe process of organizing data by relevant categories so that it may be used and protected more efficiently; involves tagging data, which makes it easily searchable and trackable5
10512396778Patternsconsistencies or repetitions in data; useful for predicting future behavior or events; used in machine learning6
10512396779Online collaborative toolsWord processors, presentation applications, spreadsheet applications and other useful tools that allow two or more persons to work on the same document or task simultaneously7
10512396780Visualizationsthe presentation of data in a pictorial or graphical format; allows decision makers to see analytics presented visually so they can grasp difficult concepts or identify new patterns8
10512396781Extracting Datathe act or process of retrieving data out of (usually unstructured or poorly structured) data sources for further data processing or data storage9
10512396782Large data setdata that is so large or complex that traditional data processing applications are inadequate10

10512396789Scalabilitythe capability of a system, network, or process to handle a growing amount of work, or its potential to be enlarged to accommodate that growth17
10512396790Secure transmission concernsthe transfer of data such as confidential or proprietary information over a protected channel; usually requires encryption18
10512396791Lossy data compressiona method for reducing file size where some data is deliberately discarded; when decompressed, the quality is less than the original file; primarily used in digital images and video; JPEG is most widely known19
10512396792Lossless data compressiona method for reducing file size where the file is perfectly reconstructed when decompressed; there is no loss in quality; GIF an PNG are most widely known; primarily used for audio files and other non-graphical files20
10512396793Data file formatsthe type of file created when a user saves a file from a software application; examples include txt, doc, ppt, accdb, xls, pdf, csv, jpg, tif, bmp, wav, mp4, etc.21
