Data extraction is the act or process of retrieving data out of (usually unstructured or poorly structured) data sources for further data processing or data storage (data migration).

A software that provides an organization with the ability to aggregate data from disparate sources in a virtual database so it can be used for business intelligence (BI) or other analysis.

A data frame is an aggregate of numerous, partly overlapping collections of data and metadata that have been derived from massive amounts of network activity such as content production, consumption, and other user behavior. A data frame may be used to drive the creation of new content, applications, or infrastructure enhancements.

An interactive device, resembling a glove worn on the hand, which facilitates tactile sensing and fine-motion control in robotics and virtual reality . Data gloves are one of several types of electromechanical devices used in haptics applications.

The overall management of the availability, usability, integrity, and security of data employed in an enterprise. A sound governance program includes a governing body or council, a defined set of procedures, and a plan to execute those procedures.

A documented set of guidelines for ensuring the proper management of an organization's digital information. It outlines how business activity monitoring should be carried out to ensure data accuracy, accessibility, consistency and security.

Data gravity is a term coined by Dave McCrory stating that data keeps accumulating (building mass) and with that increases the probabilities of additional services and applications being attracted to this data.

Data Guard is the name for Oracle's standby database solution, used for disaster recovery and high availability. Data Guard ensures high availability, data protection, and disaster recovery for enterprise data. Data Guard provides a comprehensive set of services that create, maintain, manage, and monitor one or more standby databases to enable production Oracle databases to survive disasters and data corruptions. Data Guard maintains these standby databases as transactionally consistent copies of the production database.

A characteristic of object-oriented programming. Because an object can only be associated with data in predefined classes or templates, the object can only "know" about the data it needs to know about. 

Data integration involves combining data residing in different sources and providing users with a unified view of these data. This process becomes significant in a variety of situations, which include both commercial (when two similar companies need to merge their databases) and scientific (combining research results from different bioinformatics repositories, for example) domains.

The assurance that information can only be accessed or modified by those authorized to do so. Measures include controlling the physical environment of networked terminals and servers, access control, and maintaining rigorous authentication practices.

A key (a variable value that is applied to a string or block of text to encrypt or decrypt it) that is used to encrypt or decrypt data only and is not used to encrypt or decrypt other keys, as some encryption formulas call for.

A Data lake is a large storage repository that "holds data until it is needed", in its native format. The term was coined by James Dixon, Pentaho chief technology officer.

The time it takes for data packets to be stored or retrieved. In Business Intelligence (BI), data latency is how long it takes for a business user to retrieve source data from a data warehouse or business intelligence dashboard.  

A policy-based approach to managing the flow of an information system's data throughout its life cycle: from creation and initial storage to the time when it becomes obsolete and is deleted. well as applications.

The service provided by the Data Link layer of function defined in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model for network communication.
