Data ArchitectureData architecture is a framework for how IT infrastructure supports IO's data strategy. The goal of any data architecture is to show the company's infrastructure how data is acquired, transported, stored, queried, and secured.Transformation
Data WarehouseData Lakes are special kinds of data stores that accept any kind of structured or unstructured data without needing to transform the data before loading itTransformation
Data ScientistData scientists are big data wranglers, gathering and analyzing large sets of structured and unstructured data. They analyze, process, and model data then interpret the results to create actionable plans for companies and other organizations.Transformation
Data TransformationData transformation is the process where data is extracted, sifted through, and subsequently understood, so that it can be transformed into something that can be analyzed. Data transformation includes two primary stages: understanding and mapping the data; and transforming the data.Transformation
Decisioning AlgorithmDecisioning Algorithms are singular purpose pieces of code which aren’t as advanced as AI however, given a known set of rules, are able to generate an output from some given inputs.Transformation
Data MappingDefining how fields in different data sources connect together, and what types of data transformations they require. Transformation
Extract Load Transform (ELT)ELT is a process where data gets leveraged via a data warehouse in order to do basic transformations without the need for data staging. ELT uses cloud-based data warehousing solutions for all different types of data - including structured, unstructured, semi-structured, and even raw data types.Transformation
Extract Transform Load (ETL)ETL is a data integration process that combines data from multiple data sources into a single, consistent data store that is loaded into a data warehouse or other target system.Transformation
ForecastingForecasting is the act of analyzing and mining data in order to predict what will happen in the future. Forecasting is typically accomplished using a BI application.Transformation
Machine LearningMachine learning is the study of computer algorithms that can improve automatically through experience and by the use of data.Transformation

Data StagingThe staging area is mainly used to quickly extract data from its data sources, minimizing the impact of the sources. After data has been loaded into the staging area, the staging area is used to combine data from multiple data sources, transformations, validations, data cleansing.Transformation
Extract Load Transform Load (ELTL)The supported data integration process at IO that is a combined approach between ELT and ETL. We leverage between both a Data Lake and Data Warehouse infrastructure in the IO Data Architecture affording us the flexibility of both. Transformation
Structured DataThe term structured data refers to data that resides in a fixed field within a file or record. Structured data is typically stored in a relational database (RDBMS). It can consist of numbers and text, and sourcing can happen automatically or manually.

Characteristics of Structured Data that differentiates it from Unstructured Data are:
  • Structured data is clearly defined and searchable types of data
  • Structured data is quantitative
  • Structured data is often what is stored in data warehouses
  • Structured data is easy to search and analyze
  • Structured data exists in predefined formats
Transformation
Unstructured Data

Unstructured data is more or less all the data that is not structured. Even though unstructured data may have a native, internal structure, it's not structured in a predefined way. There is no data model; the data is stored in its native format. 


Typical examples of unstructured data are rich media, text, social media activity, surveillance imagery, and so on. 


Characteristics of Unstructured Data that differentiates it from Structured Data are:
  • Unstructured Data is data that is usually stored in its native format
  • Unstructured Data is qualitative
  • Unstructured Data is the data stored in data lakes
  • Unstructured Data requires more work in order to be able to process and understand it
  • Unstructured Data exists in a variety of formats consisting from everything from audio, video, and imagery to email and sensor data
