  1. Information system

    An information system is a computerized database designed to accept, store, process, transform, make useful, and analyze data and to report results, usually on a regular, ongoing basis. It is often construed as a larger system including not only the database and the software and hardware used to manage it but also including the people using and benefiting from it and also including all necessary manual and machine procedures and communication systems. The term is however also used in the broader sense of any means for communicating knowledge from one person to another, such as by simple verbal communication, punched-card systems, optical coincidence systems based on coordinate indexing, and completely computerized methods of storing, searching, and retrieving of information. The term is also sometimes used in more restricted senses to refer to only the software used to run a computerized database or to refer to only a computer system.
