Data processing is defined as the systematic performance of operations upon data such as handling, merging, sorting, and computing. The semantic content of the original data should not be changed, but the semantic content of the processed data may be changed.
Using the computer to perform operations on data.
The systematic performance of operations upon data; for example, arithmetic or logic operations on data, merging or sorting of data, assembling or compiling of programs.
Systematically performing a series of actions with data. May be done by manual, mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic (primarily computer) means. Often used interchangeably with automatic data processing (ADP). See also AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING (ADP), INFORMATION RESOURCES MANAGEMENT (IRM).
The manipulation of data into the form of usable information, often involving sorting, searching, or calculating raw data.
(computer science) a series of operations on data by a computer in order to retrieve or transform or classify information
Handling information, either manually or electronically, such as posting daily transactions and computing interest.
is the process of recording, storing, and analyzing information with a computer program.
Organisation of data for the purpose of providing client organisations with an accurate statistical basis upon which to make decisions. Involves recording, classifying, cleaning, sorting, summarising, calculating, disseminating and storing data.
The use of computers to sort, add, delete, or otherwise rearrange information.
organization of data for the purpose of producing desired information; involves recording, classifying, sorting, summarizing, calculating, disseminating and storing data.
The conversion, sorting, allocation or otherwise system atic and standard manipulation of project data by computer programming. It speeds results and reduces the staff that would otherwise be required for manual effort. Great care is required to ensure useful output and avoid the counter product ive overload ing of manager s with unnecessary information. See also Systems Analysis. [D03057] CCCP
The preparation and handling of information through a prescribed procedure. This usually refers to the handling of information by mechanical or electronic means on a computer.
Using a computer to convert facts, figures, and images into useful information.
Data processing is any process that converts data into information which is usually assumed to be automated and running on a personal computer or other information system.
Operations performed on data to provide useful information to users.
vi A general term for any work done on a computer, especially work done by the computer. Often applies especially to database work, as distinguished from desktop publishing, word processing, programming, or spreadsheet calculation.
The handling of accounting or other information by a computer.
A special insurance usually on an all risks basis. Covers physical loss and loss from business interruption if the damage necessitates shutdown of operations.
Obtaining, recording or holding (storing) information and carrying out any operation or set of operations upon it: including adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, transfer, erasure and destruction.
Data processing is any computer process that converts data into information or knowledge. The processing is usually assumed to be automated and running on an a computer. Because data are most useful when well-presented and actually informative, data-processing systems are often referred to as information systems to emphasize their practicality.
Data Processing can be any computer operation or series of operations performed on data to get insightful information.
