Glossary

Refers to artificial intelligence that can act independently to achieve goals, rather than just responding to instructions. It makes decisions, takes actions, and can adapt based on its environment, showing a level of “agency.”

Stands for Application Programming Interface. It is a set of functions that allow to access to data from an application or an operating system.

Field of science that refers to computer systems that perform tasks typically performed by human intelligence, such as speech recognition, problem-solving, or decision-making.

Term that refers to large and complex datasets from various sources that can't be analysed by traditional tools.

A file format in which the records are arranged in a table, with each item of information separated by a comma.

A city in New Hampshire, USA, where the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence was held in 1956, laying the foundations for AI

Data ethics is concerned with ethical questions, considerations, and debates around data, including the collection, management, analysis, interpretation, sharing, and use (and misuse) of data, and the impact of data on individuals and the society

Architectural approach that integrates and manages access to data from multiple sources within the organisation.

Centralised platform that provides a single point of access to data from multiple sources and simplifies collaboration and information sharing.

The process of transforming data from multiple sources to have a consolidated view for analysis.

Data storage that holds large amounts of unstructured, structured or semi-structured raw data. It is typically used for machine learning processing or big data analysis.

Decentralised architectural approach that organises data within domains according to its use.

Process of analysing large amounts of data raws from different angles to identify potential connections between databases.

Structured collection of data records, generally organised in a tabular form with rows and columns.

Data storage that contains structured data records designed to support business decision-making through data analysis with a consolidated view.

Subset of Machine Learning that incorporates the use of neural networks inspired by the human brain to learn from large amounts of data.

Stands for Extraction Load Transform .It is a data integration process that loads data after extraction before transforming it directly into the data storage

Stands for Extraction Transform Load. It is a data integration process that transforms data after extraction before loading it into the data storage.

Process of programming a pre-trained model for specific tasks.

Protocol to transfer files between computer systems

A file format in which records are organised as objects. It is inspired by the JavaScript programming language.

The field of artificial intelligence that involves developing computer systems that can learn and adapt without explicit instruction.

Data that describes data information, such as relational databases and details.

Stands for Neural Language Processing. It's an AI field that uses machine learning techniques to help computer systems understand natural language. It is particularly used in the context of generative AI.

Programming language generally used to perform analysis using algorithms.

Data that has not been manipulated and is in its native format.

Data with some organisational levels without a generally defined structure.

Acronym of Structured Query Language. It is a programming language used to query, manipulate and interact with databases for analysis

Data that is organised and stored in a specific format to ease the readability for data analysis

Data that have not a predefined format and lacks a fixed schema, making it difficult to store in traditional relational databases
