  2. Data deduplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_deduplication

    In computing, data deduplication is a technique for eliminating duplicate copies of repeating data. Successful implementation of the technique can improve storage utilization, which may in turn lower capital expenditure by reducing the overall amount of storage media required to meet storage capacity needs.

  3. Don't repeat yourself - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself

    "Don't repeat yourself" (DRY), also known as "duplication is evil", is a principle of software development aimed at reducing repetition of information which is likely to change, replacing it with abstractions that are less likely to change, or using data normalization which avoids redundancy in the first place.

  4. Comma-separated values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values

    CSV is a delimited text file that uses a comma to separate values (many implementations of CSV import/export tools allow other separators to be used; for example, the use of a "Sep=^" row as the first row in the *.csv file will cause Excel to open the file expecting caret "^" to be the separator instead of comma ","). Simple CSV implementations ...

  5. Replication (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_(statistics)

    In engineering, science, and statistics, replication is the process of repeating a study or experiment under the same or similar conditions. It is a crucial step to test the original claim and confirm or reject the accuracy of results as well as for identifying and correcting the flaws in the original experiment. [1]

  6. Star schema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_schema

    In computing, the star schema or star model is the simplest style of data mart schema and is the approach most widely used to develop data warehouses and dimensional data marts. [1]

  7. Data lineage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_lineage

    Representation broadly depends on the scope of the metadata management and reference point of interest. Data lineage provides sources of the data and intermediate data flow hops from the reference point with backward data lineage, leading to the final destination's data points and its intermediate data flows with forward data lineage.

  8. Join (SQL) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join_(SQL)

    The natural join can be simulated with Codd's primitives as follows. Let c 1, ..., c m be the attribute names common to R and S, r 1, ..., r n be the attribute names unique to R and let s 1, ..., s k be the attributes unique to S. Furthermore, assume that the attribute names x 1, ..., x m are neither in R nor in S.

  9. RIS (file format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIS_(file_format)

    The RIS file format—two letters, two spaces and a hyphen—is a tagged format for expressing bibliographic citations.According to the specifications, [3] [4] [5] the lines must end with the ASCII carriage return and line feed characters.
