Data Processing

The document discusses data processing and the data processing cycle. It defines data and explains that data processing involves converting raw data into meaningful information through a series of steps. The stages of the data processing cycle are: 1) collection, 2) preparation, 3) input, 4) processing, and 5) storage. The cycle allows for quick access and retrieval of processed information.

DATA

PROCESSING
DATA
- the quantities, characters, or symbols on which
operations are performed by a computer, being stored and
transmitted in the form of electrical signals and recorded
on magnetic, optical, or mechanical recording media.

OXFORD
In general, data is any set of characters that is
gathered and translated for some purpose, usually analysis.
It can be any character, including text and numbers,
pictures, sound, or video. If data is not put into context, it
doesn't do anything to a human or computer.

DATA PROCESSING
Simply the conversion of raw
data to meaningful information
through a process.
“ Data is like garbage. You’d
better know what are you
going to do with it before you
collect.”
Mark Twain.
 The data processing cycle is a
series of steps carried out to
extract useful information from
raw data.
STAGES OF THE DATA PROCESSING
CYCLE:
1. COLLECTION
- involves getting the data/facts needed for
processing from the point of its origin to the computer.

2. PREPARATION
- is the manipulation of data into a form of suitable
for further analysis and processing.

3. INPUT
- is the task where verified data is coded or
converted into machine readable form so that it can be
processed through the use of a keyboard, scanner, or data
4. PROCESSING
- is when the data is subjected to various means
and methods of powerful technical manipulations using
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence algorithms
to generate an output or interpretation about the
data.

5. STORAGE
- is the last stage in the data processing cycle,
where data and metadata (information about the data)
are held for future use. The importance of this cycle is
that it allows quick access and retrieval of the
processed information, allowing it to be passed on the
next stage directly, when you needed.
