INFORMATION-CENTRIC VS. STORAGE/DATA-CENTRIC SYSTEMS

摘要

It is essential to recognise that information (i.e., the meaning and value that must be extracted from data for a business to run) is very different from the data itself. Information must be managed using different processes and tools than those used in data management. The current notion of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) is really only about making Systems Managed Storage work universally and does not relate to information management at all. However, recent developments of new technologies have potential to open a new paradigm in extracting, organizing and managing the meaning and value from data sources that can allow processes and decision systems to take a quantum leap in effectiveness. The networked structure of a graph database combined with concept modelling will foster this shift.
