Notes on Information Systems and Data Modeling (IT 1090)

1. Introduction to Information Systems:


 Information systems (IS) are composed of people, processes, data, and technology
working together to support business operations and decision-making.
 Types of information systems include transaction processing systems (TPS),
management information systems (MIS), decision support systems (DSS), and
executive information systems (EIS).
2. Components of Information Systems:
 People: Users who interact with the system, including employees, customers, and
stakeholders.
 Processes: Business processes and workflows that govern how information is
captured, processed, and distributed within the organization.
 Data: Raw facts and figures that are collected, stored, and processed by the system.
 Technology: Hardware, software, networks, and infrastructure used to facilitate the
functioning of the information system.
3. Data Modeling:
 Data modeling is the process of creating a conceptual representation of data objects,
relationships, and constraints to support business requirements.
 Entity-Relationship (ER) Model: Graphical representation used to describe entities,
attributes, and relationships in a database.
 Attributes: Properties or characteristics of entities.
 Relationships: Associations between entities, such as one-to-one, one-to-many, and
many-to-many relationships.
 Normalization: Process of organizing data in a database to reduce redundancy and
improve data integrity.
4. Database Management Systems (DBMS):
 DBMS is software that allows users to create, manage, and manipulate databases. It
provides mechanisms for storing, retrieving, and modifying data.
 Common types of DBMS include relational, NoSQL, and object-oriented databases.
5. Relational Database Concepts:
 Tables: Data is organized into tables, where each row represents a record and each
column represents an attribute.
 Primary Key: Unique identifier for each record in a table.
 Foreign Key: Attribute that establishes a relationship between two tables.
 SQL (Structured Query Language): Language used to interact with relational
databases for tasks such as querying, updating, and managing data.
6. Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence:
 Data warehousing involves the collection, storage, and management of large volumes
of data from various sources to support decision-making and analysis.
 Business intelligence (BI) encompasses tools and techniques for analyzing, reporting,
and visualizing data to extract insights and inform strategic decisions.
7. Data Governance and Security:
 Data governance involves the establishment of policies, procedures, and controls to
ensure the quality, integrity, and security of data assets.
 Security measures such as access controls, encryption, and data backup are essential
for protecting sensitive information and preventing unauthorized access or breaches.
8. Emerging Trends:
 Big Data: Management and analysis of large and complex datasets.
 Cloud Computing: Deployment of databases and applications on cloud platforms for
scalability and flexibility.
 Data Science: Integration of statistical analysis, machine learning, and predictive
modeling to extract insights from data.
9. Conclusion:
 Information systems and data modeling are essential components of modern
organizations, enabling efficient data management, decision-making, and strategic
planning.
 Understanding these concepts is crucial for IT professionals involved in system
development, database administration, and business analysis.
