Information management refers to all levels of managing data and information, such as computer storage and retrieval, software, standards, data administration, and organizational functions. Information management also encompasses the control of data-handling operations such as acquisition, analysis, translation, coding, storage, retrieval, and distribution of data.
Emerging information management technologies are available in the following categories on alphaWorks:
- Mining: Discovery and analysis of data for establishing relationships and identifying patterns.
- Analysis: The process of systematically applying statistical and logical techniques in order to describe, summarize, and compare the data collected.
- Integration: The process of blending data from various distinct sources in order to create a larger and more comprehensive body of knowledge.
- Transfer: The process of transferring data from a data-holding source to a destination.
- Retention: The preservation and storage of data.
