Records typically are classified in structured, unstructured and semi-structured records. Clearly structured records involve data in columns and rows stored on a database.
However what truly constitutes a record in a structured system? Is the record the individual columns/rows in a database table ? What about systems that are feed some other system ? Or what about systems that simply are fed by underlying systems - do all these constitute a record. A record should have context and content but a standalone piece of data sitting in a table has limited context - if so is a piece of data (e.g. customer number) not considered a record
Typically large corporations have hundreds of applications - are all of them considered records?
Are information in datawarehouse considered records? (how we dispose of records in a datawarehouse, especially since data warehouses are usually never purged so how can we apply retention)
Any insight from the group is appreciated
Thanks
