Study Notes

Semi-Structured Data

Example includes student attendance data with varying formats for each record.
Data entries are labeled with tags: Name, Month, Class, Attendance for clarity.

Data Capturing, Storage, and Retrieval

Data must be captured and stored in files or databases for future use.
High costs of data servers (hardware and software) pose challenges for small organizations.
Data retrieval involves fetching stored data based on user requirements, increasing complexity as databases grow.
Minimizing access time is essential for efficient data processing.

Data Deletion and Recovery

Deletion can occur due to device malfunction, accidental erasure, or malicious actions.
Deleting data involves marking its memory address as free, without removing the actual content initially.
Data recovery is possible if deleted memory space has not been overwritten.
Security concerns include unauthorized deletion and recovery of data. Measures include:
- Limiting system access and using passwords for accounts and files.
- Encrypting files to prevent unwanted modifications.

Operating System Functions

Acts as a resource manager, handling CPU, memory, and I/O devices for optimal performance.
Processes running on a computer are managed, ensuring resource allocation without performance deterioration.
Two primary types of memory:
- RAM (volatile memory)
- ROM (non-volatile memory)
The system bus transfers data, addresses, and control signals between components.
Microprocessors perform basic operations; microcontrollers integrate CPU, RAM, ROM, and peripherals on one chip.
Software, categorized into system software, programming tools, and application software, is essential for hardware functionality.

Interface Role of Operating System

Serves as the interface between users and computer systems, controlling both hardware and software operations.
Monitors system performance and manages processes effectively.

Exercise

Identify software needed for computer functionality and list two primary services it provides.
