 THEORY OR CONCEPTS IN THE ARTICLE
• High-quality data should be intrinsically good, contextually appropriate for the task,
clearly represented, and accessible to the data consumer.
• Data Quality Management encourages organization to view and manage data as a
corporate resource. Data quality must be an on-going, active and preventive process. It
should not be taken as retrospective corrective activity.
• Successful marketing data analysis depends very much on the quality of the data that
are available for analytical work. Data Mining is the process of identifying valid, novel,
potentially useful, and ultimately understandable patterns in data stored in structured
databases, where the data are organized in records structured by categorical, ordinal and
continuous variables
• There is a constant tradeoff between ease of use and security. Digitized libraries are
the next frontier that is being captured. They are removing the conventional book and
paper libraries and replacing them with software libraries.
• As with the massive amounts of information being added to corporate databases and
the Internet every day, effective and efficient knowledge discovery and its
management is very much necessary.
• Information Architecture is -
– The structural design of shared information environment.
– The art and science of organizing and labeling websites, intranets, online communities and software
to support usability and fundability.
– An emerging community of practice focused on bringing principles of design and architecture to the
digital landscape.
 THEORY OR CONCEPTS IN THE ARTICLE
contd..
• New and existing electronic intermediaries provide an information architecture supporting
the trading processes between buyers and sellers electronically. Intermediaries might
perform a function better or cheaper because an intermediary can benefit from economies
of scale and scope.

• 8 Principles of Information Architecture 

– 1. The principle of objects – Treat content as a living, breathing thing, with a lifecycle, behaviors
and attributes.
– 2. The principle of choices – Create pages that offer meaningful choices to users, keeping the range
of choices available focused on a particular task.
– 3. The principle of disclosure – Show only enough information to help people understand what
kinds of information they’ll find as they dig deeper.
– 4. The principle of exemplars – Describe the contents of categories by showing examples of the
contents.
– 5. The principle of front doors – Assume at least half of the website’s visitors will come through
some page other than the home page.
– 6. The principle of multiple classifications – Offer users several different classification schemes to
browse the site’s content.
– 7. The principle of focused navigation – Don’t mix apples and oranges in the navigation scheme.
– 8. The principle of growth – Assume the content that is present today is a small fraction of the
content that will present tomorrow.
 PROBLEM / ISSUE ADDRESSED
• A framework is required that captures the aspects of data quality that are important to
data consumers.
• In recent years there has been a visible mismatch between the notable expansion of the
database community’s portfolio and its contribution to other fields of research and
practice.
• Dirty data can have a direct impact on stocking levels, sales orders, customer
perceptions, loyalty and profitability.
• Consistency between points in time or versions should be checked, Quality checking
should be automated, The entire safety mechanism should be built from bottom up.
Beginning at the physical level and moving up all the way to the data level. The latest
measures in this regard are called AAA level security (AAA means Authentication,
Authorization and Access).
• Businessmen have discovered a disconcerting problem: markets change, but computer
systems do not" .Traditional systems don't bend; they won't change, and they can't
adapt.
• As people continue to use information at exponentially increasing rates, information is
slowly stagnating. If nothing is done to efficiently release information into some broader
dynamic flow of efficiency, the information that now defines much of our IT-based
experience will become unintelligible, inaccessible and completely unresponsive.
• complexity of the co-dependence - Because everyone holds their own digital position in
the space of IT, they also hold their own unique position in time, and this is where things
get problematic.
 FINDINGS / PROPOSITIONS AND OUR TAKE ON
ISSUES
• It is important for the database research community to address issues that maximize
relevance within the field, across computing, and in external fields as well. Factors
which contributed to this sense of change were:
– Excitement over “big data.
– Data analysis as profit center.
– Ubiquity of structured and unstructured data.
– Expanded developer demands.
– Architectural shifts in computing.
• The tasks of data profiling, cleaning, standardization and enrichment should continue,
as well as the identification and modification of processes that induce data quality
problems.
• Recommitment to impact and breadth should be the motivating goals for the next
round of database research. To achieve these goals, we need to use -reformation and
synthesis.
• The reformation agenda involves deconstructing traditional data-centric ideas and systems
and reforming them for new applications and architectural realities.
• The synthesis agenda is intended to leverage research ideas in areas that have yet to develop
identifiable, agreed-upon system architectures, including data integration, information
extraction, and data privacy.
 FINDINGS / PROPOSITIONS AND OUR TAKE ON
ISSUES contd..
• The threats to database security are very real and only a well thought out policy can be
effective against these threats. The front end, the back end and the processes and their
complete integration without any blocks anywhere in the system make a digitization of a
library project effective and successful.
• The minimum level of security that must be addressed is :
– Physical integrity of databases
– Logical integrity of databases
– The integrity of each element which composes the database
– Access control
– User identification
– Availability.
• competitive requirements increasingly call for not just efficiency and economy or speed and
flexibility, but both simultaneously. Mastering the elements of the high and low roads by
fitting each to the unique requirements of your business and then tying it all together
through careful.
• Designing a collaborative and interactive knowledge management platform requires a
good understanding of the complexity associated with the capture and utilization of
different types of knowledge and in particular the challenges associated with tacit
knowledge
