DATA
   Data are facts that are used by programs to
     produce useful information.
   Data are generally stored in machine-
     readable form on disk or tape until the
     computer needs them.

6.1.3 Information System Components

HARDWARE
   Refers to machinery.
   Often referred to as the central processing
    unit (CPU), and all of its support
    equipments.
   Among the support equipments are input
    and output devices, storage devices and
    communications devices.

5 TYPES OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS
    Management Information System (MIS)
    Transaction Processing System (TPS)
    Decision Support System (DSS)
    Executive Information System (EIS)
    Expert System (ES)/Artificial Intelligence (AI)

6.1.4 Types of Information Systems

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
  Mainly concerned with internal sources of
   information.
  MIS usually take data from the transaction
   processing systems and summarize it into a
   series of management reports.
  MIS reports tend to be used by middle
   management and operational supervisors.

6.1.5 Hierarchy of Data

TYPE OF DATA
   bit - Smallest unit of data the computer can
     store that consist of binary 1 and 0
   byte - Collection of eight bits. A byte
     represents a character
   Field - Unit of data consisting of one or
     more character
   Record - A collection of related fields
   File - A collection of related records
   Database - structured collection of data
