Relationship Between Information Processes

Information processes are actions that direct and coordinate the system's resources to affect the data within the system. 

Because we are dealing with information systems, data and/or information must flow into and out of each information process within the information system itself. 

There are 7 major data processes:
- Collecting
- Organising 
- Analysing
- Storing/Retrieving
- Processing
- Transmitting/Receiving
- Displaying 

Collecting

Collection is an information processing process that collects data from an external entity. Yes, collection is essentially an input process whose purpose is to provide data from the environment to other information processing processes within the information system. For example, typing keywords into an Internet search engine is as collection as scanning images with a flatbed scanner. In both cases, data is entered or collected from the environment for use in system information processing.

Organising

Organisation is the information processing that determines the format in which data is structured and displayed. Apply this structure to the data in your information system. Organisation transforms data by structuring it and presenting it in new formats. The organizational process changes how data is structured and presented, rather than changing the data itself. 

Analysing

Analytics is information processing that transforms data into information. Interpret data in a way that people can understand and understand. Analysis is the process of systematically examining data to explore its content and context. This includes processes such as searching, selecting, sorting, and comparing data. Some of the possible goals are to identify trends and models, inspire scenarios, and study the impact of change.

Storing/Retreiving

The ability to store and retrieve data is central to the activities of all information systems. Without this functionality, you would not be able to reuse the data without re-entering it. Before storing data, it must be organized in an appropriate format, and any process that retrieves the data later must understand this format. 

Processing

Processing is information processing that manipulates data in various ways to produce new values ​​or results. Processing is the only information processing that changes the data that actually exists in the system. Other information processing can change how the data is displayed, but not the data itself. This means that no data is lost or altered. 

Transmitting/Receiving

The process by which data and information are transferred within and between information systems is known as transmitting and receiving. The act of sending data or information is known as transmitting, and the act of receiving data or information is known as receiving. Both of these procedures make it possible for various devices—either parts of a single computer or the devices themselves—to communicate with one another.

Displaying

In the context of computers, the term "display" typically refers to a screen or monitor. Therefore, the act of displaying information on a screen would be considered the process of displaying. However, the meaning is closer to the word "display," which means "show," "put into view," or "exhibit." The process of displaying information primarily accomplishes this: it displays information so that individuals can view it.
