A [[Data Source]] is a [[ | A [[Data Source]] is a [[system component]] that provides [[data set]]s (to support [[data acquisition]] and [[information retrieval]]). | ||
* <B> | * <B>Context:</B> | ||
* | ** It can generate [[Data Content]] through [[data generation mechanism]]s. | ||
** It can range from being a [[Batch Data Source]] to being a [[Real-Time Data Source]] | ** It can provide [[Data Access]] via [[access interface]]s. | ||
* <B> | ** It can maintain [[Data Format]] through [[format specification]]s. | ||
** | ** It can ensure [[Data Quality]] via [[quality control]]s. | ||
** | ** It can support [[Data Availability]] through [[delivery mechanism]]s. | ||
** | ** It can often include [[Data Schema]] with [[structural element]]s. | ||
** | ** It can often enable [[Data Discovery]] through [[metadata service]]s. | ||
* <B>Counter- | ** It can often support [[Data Integration]] via [[integration protocol]]s. | ||
** | ** It can often maintain [[Data Freshness]] through [[update mechanism]]s. | ||
* <B>See:</B> [[Data | ** ... | ||
** It can range from being a [[Batch Data Source]] to being a [[Real-Time Data Source]], depending on its [[delivery mode]]. | |||
** It can range from being a [[Static Source]] to being a [[Dynamic Source]], depending on its [[update frequency]]. | |||
** It can range from being a [[Simple Source]] to being a [[Complex Source]], depending on its [[data structure]]. | |||
** It can range from being a [[Raw Source]] to being a [[Processed Source]], depending on its [[processing level]]. | |||
** ... | |||
** It can integrate with [[Data Consumer]] for [[data consumption]]. | |||
** It can connect to [[Data Pipeline]] for [[data flow]]. | |||
** It can support [[Data Repository]] for [[data storage]]. | |||
** ... | |||
* <B>Examples:</B> | |||
** [[Market Data Source]]s, such as: | |||
*** [[New York Stock Exchange Data Feed]] for [[financial trading]]. | |||
*** [[Market Price Feed]] for [[price discovery]]. | |||
** [[Research Data Source]]s, such as: | |||
*** [[UCI ML Repository]] for [[machine learning]]. | |||
*** [[Scientific Database]] for [[research data]]. | |||
** [[Commercial Data Source]]s, such as: | |||
*** [[Product Data Feed]] for [[e-commerce]]. | |||
*** [[Marketing Feed]] for [[internet marketing]]. | |||
** [[Stream Source]]s, such as: | |||
*** [[Real-Time Data Stream]] for [[live monitoring]]. | |||
*** [[Event Stream]] for [[event capture]]. | |||
** [[Web Source]]s, such as: | |||
*** [[Web Feed]] for [[content syndication]]. | |||
*** [[RSS Feed]] for [[information distribution]]. | |||
** ... | |||
* <B>Counter-Examples:</B> | |||
** [[Computation Resource]], which processes rather than provides [[data]]. | |||
** [[Data Sink]], which consumes rather than provides [[data]]. | |||
** [[Data Cache]], which temporarily stores rather than originates [[data]]. | |||
** [[Data Proxy]], which forwards rather than generates [[data]]. | |||
