| 10512396772 | Data | raw facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis | 0 | |
| 10512396773 | Information | data that has been processed, interpreted, analyzed, organized, or structured to make it more meaningful or useful | 1 | |
| 10512396774 | Iterative | involving repetition | 2 | |
| 10512396775 | Filtering | setting 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 | |
| 10512396776 | Clustering | grouping data sets together to provide an argument that a pattern exists | 4 | |
| 10512396777 | Data classification | the 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 trackable | 5 | |
| 10512396778 | Patterns | consistencies or repetitions in data; useful for predicting future behavior or events; used in machine learning | 6 | |
| 10512396779 | Online collaborative tools | Word processors, presentation applications, spreadsheet applications and other useful tools that allow two or more persons to work on the same document or task simultaneously | 7 | |
| 10512396780 | Visualizations | the 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 patterns | 8 | |
| 10512396781 | Extracting Data | the act or process of retrieving data out of (usually unstructured or poorly structured) data sources for further data processing or data storage | 9 | |
| 10512396782 | Large data set | data that is so large or complex that traditional data processing applications are inadequate | 10 | |
| 10512396783 | Trend Analysis | the widespread practice of collecting information and attempting to spot a pattern | 11 | |
| 10512396784 | Search tools | utilities and applications that allow you to find data or information online | 12 | |
| 10512396785 | Filter systems (filter tools) | utilities and applications that allow you to focus in on wanted information while temporarily excluding unwanted information | 13 | |
| 10512396786 | Spreadsheet software | an interactive computer application for organization, analysis and storage of data in tabular form; similar to accounting worksheets; examples are Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets | 14 | |
| 10512396787 | Database software | a type of software that allows users to store data in the form of structured fields, tables and columns, which can then be retrieved directly and/or through programmatic access; examples include Microsoft Access and SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL | 15 | |
| 10512396788 | Metadata | data that describes other data; for example, a digital photo may data attached that indicates who took the photo, where the photo was taken, the type of device used to take the photo, copyright restrictions, etc. | 16 | |
| 10512396789 | Scalability | the capability of a system, network, or process to handle a growing amount of work, or its potential to be enlarged to accommodate that growth | 17 | |
| 10512396790 | Secure transmission concerns | the transfer of data such as confidential or proprietary information over a protected channel; usually requires encryption | 18 | |
| 10512396791 | Lossy data compression | a 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 known | 19 | |
| 10512396792 | Lossless data compression | a 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 files | 20 | |
| 10512396793 | Data file formats | the 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 | |
| 10512396794 | Privacy policy | the aspect of information technology (IT) that deals with the ability of an organization or individual to determine what data in a computer system can be shared with third parties | 22 | |
| 10512396795 | Security policy | the aspect of information technology (IT) that deals with the ability of a user to access or alter local or networked information or to change computer policies and settings | 23 | |
| 10512396796 | Storage media | physical devices capable or reading, writing, and saving digital data, files, software applications, and operating systems | 24 |
