Data management involves collecting data and reporting information. The following categories describe the concept of data management on a 900 Series HP 3000 system:

  • Collecting data: the data entry process, including validating.

  • Organizing data: analysis of data and its relationships; development of an appropriate data structure after analyzing the requirements of the application; for example, producing a logical record layout or schema.

  • Storing data: the process of installing data in a meaningful form. This is the task of taking raw data and reformatting it for application programs to use.

  • Accessing data: the retrieval of data for further processing. This includes additional reorganization or reduction of data for reports or other uses of the data.
