What is an information system?

An information system is a system that comprises hardware, software, policies, and other components, and is used to process, interpret, and organize useful or meaningful information.

What is the traditional approach to data requirements for applications?

The traditional approach involves deriving data requirements for applications independently, developing applications in an ad-hoc and opportunistic manner, and having application programs that are data dependent. Signup and view all the answers
