Data, its
creation, acquisition, modelling, storage, integrity, security and
quality are essential to any knowledge endeavour. It is therefore
important that students are equipped with the necessary skills to
design, build and manage databases. The module builds on the
students previous experiences of working with databases. The
module covers advanced and complex database relating to storage,
management and architecture of data for knowledge management
environments. It also covers topics in advanced database design,
architecture and complex database applications.
The module is designed to provide the students with
a through understanding of both theory and practice in databases
in the context of knowledge management.
