Searching for additional papers

Searching for additional articles on the data warehouse and data mining...I may end up with a long list of articles...

Update

So far, so good...I like what I have so far. I now have how, when and why questions - when should certain options be selected, how different are some systems etc. This could be important stuff.

Back to work

After a break, I am again working on my assignment. I am now taking a fresh look at my outline. There may be changes - I want it to flow well and fit together like "a completed puzzle". I may need additional articles. Hopefully, I will finish up today.

Next assignment requires a presentation

Today, I spent a lot of time reading/skimming articles for the next assignment. I selected more than the required five articles & then used them to develop an outline. From the outline, I started putting together the presentation.

What is required for the assignment:

Create a PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:
• Evaluates interactive database systems,
• Explains the process of data mining,
• Explains online analytical process (OLAP),
• Assesses how visual data are extracted from image databases,
• Explains decisions are made using this data,
• Explores the professions that will most likely benefit from the information and knowledge created via visual data mining.

Your audience is a group of IT professionals who have some basic knowledge of databases but are unfamiliar with data mining.

For your research The NCU library has databases and resources such as ProQuest, EBSCOhost, and others where you can download additional peer reviewed journal articles.
Your presentation should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as “speaker notes” for each slide.

Support your presentation with the required readings of the course and at least five (5) additional peer reviewed journal articles.  In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.  Be sure to include citations for quotations and paraphrases with references in APA format and style.

Length: 12-15 slides (with a separate reference slide).
Notes: 50-100 words for each slide.

Assignment submitted

I just submitted the week 3 assignment. The paper was challenging, but it turned out great!

The paper:
Data Decision-Making in an Organization

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/308608737_Data_Decision-Making_in_an_Organization

End of work for today. I'm making good progress.

Making progress

I am currently working on the first draft of the paper. I am finding that my background as a BA/Requirements Analyst applies/helps...at least with one section...

Working on the next assignment

Thinking of how to organize databases for the taxonomy...

Working on the week 3 assignment

After reading the requirements for the week 3 assignment as well as the syllabus, I wasn't sure how I would proceed. The assignment touches on the decisions for individual systems as well as organization-wide decisions (data architecture etc.). I thought of using systems that collect market data as examples. There may be a central system/application that collects the data, but market data is used by many applications and users. I am currently searching for articles on the topic. The articles will help me decide how to proceed. This is interesting!

Requirements:

One article I like...

Assignment submitted

After many hours of work, I completed and submitted my week 2 assignment. I ended up using my data/background for one of the interviews (I use my background a lot in my papers, sometimes previous work).

My information:

The paper (with some data hidden to protect the individual's privacy):

I worked on my week 2 assignment/paper for several hours today. I now have a good draft. There is quite a bit of work left. I will finish up tomorrow (hopefully)...

Interviews for next assignment

Today, I spent a few hours developing questions for database end-users for my next assignment. It is very interesting! I am now ready to send the questions off to two users.

What is required:
Interview two experienced and knowledgeable database end users and summarize and evaluate their responses about the knowledge and skills needed to do the following:
manage, access, query the databases, and manipulate data.

My second post...

After a break, I am again working on activity 2. I hope to complete this assignment today...

Second activity for week 1

I am working on the second activity/assignment - a PowerPoint presentation "arguing if and why the knowledge level and skill sets of information technology (IT) and IS professionals, such as database administrators (DBAs), should be compatible with researchers and archivist analysts." The assignment requires the use of at least 6 peer-reviewed journal articles as references. I am searching for articles now...
