Data Collection
SOURCE: Primary / Secondary or External / Internal / Personal
TYPE: ‘Hard’ / ‘Soft’ LEVEL: Strategic / Tactical / Operational
What are the problems with data collection? What gives information quality?
ACCURACY TIMELINESS RELIABILITY RELEVANCE COMPLETENESS CURRENCY INTERPRETABILITY PRESENTATION ACCESSIBILITY

The Data Management sub system of a DSS
Extracts information from internal company databases (specialised integrated database or data warehouse)
Has links to external data sources (Web access)
Interfaces with modelling capabilities, user interface design.
May have a knowledge component (AI capabilities)

Database Management Systems
A DBMS enables greater integration of data, complex file structure, user query facilities.e.g. The university’s DBMS is Oracle. The query facility is through the language SQL
The main type of DSS database organisation is relational.

Data Warehouses
The combination of many data sources into one store, specifically for end user access. This store is separate from the organisation’s records of operations (transaction processing system files) but partly derived from them.
Appropriate in large organisations with different systems which may store the same data for different needs and in different formats.
Data warehousing provides a means for integrating the data from the various systems.
Useful for static (usually historical) data

Data Mininga.k.a. data exploration or data pattern processing
The need for tools to help with data access is due to the complexity and size of many organisation’s databases (data warehouses)
The query can be conducted quickly, and the miner does not need programming skills to explore the database (end user support)
A focus on discovery vs verification
On line Analytical Processing – multidimensional databases
Problems with data warehouses/ data mining may be Data Noise, Missing information, Security, Reliability

Data Visualisation
Incorporates any technology that allows the user to picture the information in a more meaningful way.
GUI (windows and icons applications graphical facilities GIS (geographical information systems) 3D presentations/ animation
