  2. Structured systems analysis and design method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_systems...

    The logical data structure is converted into a physical architecture in terms of database structures. The exact structure of the functions and how they are implemented is specified. The physical data structure is optimized where necessary to meet size and performance requirements.

  3. Data modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_modeling

    Data modeling during systems analysis: In systems analysis logical data models are created as part of the development of new databases. Data modeling is also used as a technique for detailing business requirements for specific databases. It is sometimes called database modeling because a data model is eventually implemented in a database. [4]

  4. Lazy evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation

    In programming language theory, lazy evaluation, or call-by-need, [1] is an evaluation strategy which delays the evaluation of an expression until its value is needed (non-strict evaluation) and which avoids repeated evaluations (by the use of sharing).

  5. Structured analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_analysis

    The old system's data flow diagrams can be drawn up and compared with the new system's data flow diagrams to draw comparisons to implement a more efficient system. Data flow diagrams can be used to provide the end user with a physical idea of where the data they input ultimately has an effect upon the structure of the whole system from order to ...

  6. Data analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_analysis

    Data mining is a particular data analysis technique that focuses on statistical modeling and knowledge discovery for predictive rather than purely descriptive purposes, while business intelligence covers data analysis that relies heavily on aggregation, focusing mainly on business information. [4]

  7. Supply chain operations reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_chain_operations...

    As with the process modeling system, SCOR metrics are organized in a hierarchical structure: Level 1 metrics are at the most aggregated level and are typically used by top decision-makers to measure the performance of the company's overall supply chain. Level 2 metrics are primary, high-level measures that may cross multiple SCOR processes.

  8. Data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure

    A data structure known as a hash table.. In computer science, a data structure is a data organization and storage format that is usually chosen for efficient access to data. [1] [2] [3] More precisely, a data structure is a collection of data values, the relationships among them, and the functions or operations that can be applied to the data, [4] i.e., it is an algebraic structure about data.

  9. Database schema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_schema

    The database schema is the structure of a database described in a formal language supported typically by a relational database management system (RDBMS). The term "schema" refers to the organization of data as a blueprint of how the database is constructed (divided into database tables in the case of relational databases).
