2. ï There are seven key information
processes.
ï They are:
ï Collecting
ï Organising
ï Analysing
ï Storing and Retrieving
ï Processing
ï Transmitting and Receiving
ï Displaying
3. ï These seven processes are used together
to create computer-based systems that
meet the need(s) of the individual or
group.
ï Collecting is the process that defines the
required data and identifies the source of
the data.
ï It also includes the determination of how
the data will be gathered and the
gathering of the data.
4. ï Organising is the process where the
format in which the data will represented
is decided.
ï Analysing is the process in which the
data is interpreted and transformed into
information.
ï Storing and retrieving involves the saving
of both data and information so that it
can be used again at a later stage.
5. ï The processing stage is where data and
information are manipulated into a
suitable form.
ï Transmitting and receiving is concerned
with the sending and receiving of data
and information both within and beyond
the specified information system.
ï Displaying is where the form of
information display is decided.
ï Display devices can include screens,
printers, speakers or data projectors.
