Open access

Data ethics

Metadata
An object, variable, or piece of information that has the perceived capacity to be collected, stored, and identifiable. It comes largely in two forms: structured and unstructured.

Data privacy
a defined list of allowed terms used to index, categorize, tag, sort, and retrieve content through browsing and searching
Controlled vocabulary
a step in the knowledge discovery from databases (KDD) process that consists of applying data analysis and discovery algorithms to produce a particular enumeration of patterns (or models) across the data
Data mining
The theory and development of computer systems that are able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.
Artificial Intelligence
