Data Handling in Computers

Paper Summary:

The proliferation of the Internet and the availability of various types of computer files (including documents, sound files, video files and multimedia presentation files) have made it difficult for IT managers and computer users to keep track of new types of data. The paper shows that databases have traditionally been used to track individual records, but today's computers can handle data of a much different type which is not easily converted into traditional relational database formats. This research examines how users and vendors are meeting the new needs of today's computer users using technology such as "SageMaker" and "Verity".

From the Paper:

"Although no one format has emerged as the standard for managing large data warehouses which contain nonstandard data formats, numerous vendors have entered the market with the goal of helping companies store and retrieve diverse types of data. With the widespread use of the Internet, approaches that make use of video scanning have become more widely available, and companies which would have once maintained their own searchable databases for their information are using the Internet and third parties to warehouse their data for them. The next several years are likely to see an emergence of a single standard in this area, and the increased use of the Internet for more than just simple search engine retrieval functions."
