2. There are seven key information
processes.
They are:
Collecting
Organising
Analysing
Storing and Retrieving
Processing
Transmitting and Receiving
Displaying
3. These seven processes are used together
to create computer-based systems that
meet the need(s) of the individual or
group.
Collecting is the process that defines the
required data and identifies the source of
the data.
It also includes the determination of how
the data will be gathered and the
gathering of the data.
4. Organising is the process where the
format in which the data will represented
is decided.
Analysing is the process in which the
data is interpreted and transformed into
information.
Storing and retrieving involves the saving
of both data and information so that it
can be used again at a later stage.
5. The processing stage is where data and
information are manipulated into a
suitable form.
Transmitting and receiving is concerned
with the sending and receiving of data
and information both within and beyond
the specified information system.
Displaying is where the form of
information display is decided.
Display devices can include screens,
printers, speakers or data projectors.
