Computer and Information Sciences]. To transfer records from the individual or office of creation to a repository authorized to appraise, preserve, and provide access to those records. [Archives]
Computer and Information Sciences]. The ability of one device or program to work with another device or program. The term compatible implies different degrees of partnership. For example, a printer and a computer are said to be compatible if they can be connected to each other. An IBM compatible PC, on the other hand, is a computer that can run the same software as an IBM PC.
Computer and Information Sciences] n., A collection of information treated as a unit for storage or use on a computer, especially at the level of the operating system. [Computer and Information Sciences]
Computer and Information Sciences]. An abstract model of some real-world situation or domain of interest about which information is to be held in a database and which the logical schema for that database encodes. The term data model (or data modeling method) is also used for a set of logical abstractions employed in constructing such a model. [Computer and Information Sciences]
Computer and Information Sciences]. The organization and processing of documents or data including location, identification, acquisition, analysis, storage, retrieval, presentation and circulation for the information of users. [Archives]
Computer and Information Sciences]. The exact execution on a given computer of a program written for a different computer, accepting the identical data and producing the identical results. Emulation is thus the imitation of all or part of one computer system by another system. It may be achieved by software, microprogram, or hardware. A particular emulation could be used as a replacement for all or part of the system being emulated, and furthermore could be an improved version. For example, a new computer may emulate an obsolete one so that programs written for the old one will run without modification. [Computer and Information Sciences]
Computer and Information Sciences]. The technique used by layered protocols in which a layer adds header information to the protocol data unit (PDU) from the layer above. As an example, in Internet terminology, a packet would contain a header from the physical layer, followed by a header from the network layer (IP), followed by a header from the transport layer (TCP), followed by the application protocol data. [Computer and Information Sciences]
Computer and Information Sciences] n., Features built into a search interface that determine the ease with which users may formulate queries and obtain results. [Computer and Information Sciences]
Computer and Information Sciences] internal mandates The authority derived from external mandates and within the given strategic framework, invested by management or a corporate board or subsidiary to perform specific functions. [Models (BDR)] internal record internal requests for records or information Requests from internal users to consult or receive records, their aggregates, or information about records. [Models (BDR)] interoperability
