Information systems collect, process, store, and distribute data as information. They consist of hardware, software, data, people, and procedures. Information systems are used in various fields like education, business, and management to track student grades, facilitate online learning, carry out online transactions, and analyze products. The main components of an information system are data, hardware, software, people, and procedures. Common types of information systems include transaction processing systems, management information systems, decision support systems, executive information systems, and expert systems.
Chapter 6
- 2. THE DEFINITION OF DATA, INFORMATION AND INFORMATION SYSTEM. • Data: data are the raw, unprocessed facts, including text, numbers, images and sound. It is not organised and has little value. • Information is organised data that is valuable and meaningful to a specific user. • Information system: information system is a collection of hardware, software, data, people and procedures that collects data, processes data and provides information.
- 3. THE USAGE OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN VARIOUS FIELD. EDUCATION • Keep track of students statistics and grades. • Help students and teachers in online learning and discussion. • Store subject content.
- 4. BUSINESS • Carry our online buying and selling • Help plan the delivery of goods and services. • Make room booking and for checking the best rates. MANAGEMENT • See employee records • Analyse products, services and product prices • Process customer orders, organise production times and keep track of product inventory
- 5. FIVE COMPONENTS OF INFORMATION SYSTEM: Human, procedure, software, hardware and data. Component Definition Data Data are the raw, unprocessed facts, including text, numbers, images and sound. Processed data is called information Hardware Hardware is the equipment that processes the data to create information. It includes the keyboard, mouse, monitor, system unit, and other devices. Hardware is controlled by software
- 6. Component Definition Software Software is series of instructions that tells a computer what to do. The purpose of software is to convert data into information People People is anyone who communicate with (human) computer system or utilizes the information it generates such as customers, employees, students, data entry clerks, accountants and sales manager. Procedure A procedure is operating instructions for people (user) to follow when using software, hardware, and data. Procedures can be in the form of guidelines in the user manuals.
- 7. Interrelation between Information System components. Data Hardware Procedure Software Human
- 8. TYPES OF INFORMATION SYSTEM • Transaction Processing System (TPS) • Management Information System (MIS) • Decision Support System (DSS) • Executive Information System (EIS) • Expert System (ES)/ Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- 9. Information Usage System Executive Executive Information System is an Information information system that provides strategic System (EIS) / information tailored to the needs of top Executive management. EIS is a highly interactive MIS Support combined with DSS and AI that present, System (ESS) summarize and analyze data from organization's database. ESS is designed to be easy to use. So an executive with little spare time can obtain information without extensive training Decision A Decision Support System is an information Support system that analyzes business data and System (DSS) presents it so that users can make business decisions more easily. DSS analyze data.
- 10. Information Usage System Management Management Information System is an Information information system that produces System (MIS) standardized reports in summarized structured form. MIS summarizes data and presents them in reports. Transaction Transaction Processing System is an Processing information system that helps an organization System (TPS) keep track of daily operations and records these events in database; e.g. sales, payroll, reservations, shipping, and worker tracking. TPS is simply records data.
- 11. Information Usage System Expert System A type of application program that makes (ES)/ Artificial decisions or solves problems in a particular Intelligence field by using knowledge and analytical rules (AI) defined by experts in the field.
- 12. EIS Make decision Top management DSS Analyze Middle management MIS Summarize Supervisor TPS Record
- 13. Hierarchy of data Data Meaning bit A binary digit, the smallest piece of information that a computer can hold. A bit is always one of two values, written as 0 and 1 byte A byte is a series of 8 bits, which represent a single character (number, letter or symbol) field A field is a combination of one or more characters or bytes. Each field is represented by a column in the table. In database system fields are the smallest units of information you can access and each field name for examples name, address and age.
- 14. Data Meaning record A record is a collection of related fields. Each record is represented by a row in the table. file A file is a collection of related fields. (table) database A database is a collection of related files stored in storage medium
- 16. THE DEFINITION OF DATABASE & DBMS • Database: a database is structured collection of data that is organized so that enables people to add, find, sort, group, summarize, and print the data. • DBMS: is a software that can manage a database. DBMS allows you to use a computer to create a database; add, change, and delete data in the database; sort the data in the database; retrieve data in the database; and create forms and reports using the data in the database. E.g. Microsoft Access, MySQL, Oracle, DB2, Informix, SQL Server, Visual Foxpro, Corel Paradox, Kexi, OpenOffice.org Base.
- 17. BENEFITS OF USING DBMS • Improve data integrity. • Avoid data redundancy • Data can be shared over a network, by a whole organisation. • Information can be accessed easily. • Data security. Data are not accessible to unauthorised users.
- 18. THE RELATION BETWEEN FIELD, RECORD AND FILE. • A file or table is a collection of records. • Records are composed of files.
- 19. PRIMARY KEY & FOREIGN KEY • Primary key: Primary key is a field that contains a value uniquely identifies each record in the table. • Foreign key: A foreign key is a field in a relational table that matches the primary key column of another table.
- 20. THE IMPORTANCE OF PRIMARY KEY • The primary key ensures that no two records in a database contain the same value for that field. It is the field that uniquely identifies the record. • For example IC Number field uniquely identifies each student because no two students can have the same IC number.
- 21. IDENTIFY THE PRIMARY KEY & FOREIGN KEY FROM THE SAMPLE DATABASE. FRIEND_INFO FriendID {PK} PHONE_NUM Name FriendID {FK} Address Phone_Number Date_of_birth
- 22. DATABASE OBJECTS • Table • Form • Query • Report • Relationship
- 23. BASIC OPERATIONS IN DATA MANIPULATION: • Update • Insert • Delete • Modify • Retrieve • Sort • Filter • Search
- 24. PHASES OF SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT • Analysis • Design • Implementation • Testing • Documentation • Maintenance
