no particular format nor any fixed structure for printing news. Another example is the content of an email. There is no fixed structure about how many lines or paragraphs one has to write in an email or how many files are to be attached with an email. In summary, data which are not in the traditional row and column structure is called unstructured data. Examples of unstructured data include web pages consisting of text as well as multimedia contents (image, graphics, audio/video). Other examples include When we click a text documents, business reports, books, audio/video photograph using files, social media messages. Although there are ways our digital or mobile to process unstructured data, we are going to focus on camera, does it have some metadata handling structured data only in this book. associated with it? Unstructured data are sometimes described with the help of some other data called metadata. Metadata is basically data about data. For example, we describe different parts of an email as subject, recipient, main body, attachment, etc. These are the metadata for the email data. Likewise, we can have some metadata for an image file as image size (in KB or MB), image type (for example, JPEG, PNG), image resolution, etc. 7.2 D ata C ollection For processing data, we need to collect or gather data first. We can then store the data in a file or database for later use. Data collection here means identifying already available data or collecting from the appropriate sources. Suppose there are three different scenarios where sales data in a grocery store are available: • Sales data are available with the shopkeeper in a diary or register. In this case we should enter the data in a digital format for example, in a spreadsheet. • Data are already available in a digital format, say in a CSV (comma separated values) file. • The shopkeeper has so far not recorded any data in either form but wants to get a software developed for maintaining sales data and accounts. The software may be developed using a programming language suchasPythonwhichcanbeusedtostoreandretrieve data from a CSV file or a database management system like MySQL, which will be discussed further.
