| 487621 | 2006-09-27 05:19:00 | Can anyone define secondary aspect of data in information system? Does anybody how to define this paragraph? For achieving that data describes a system a quality is identified that the system might have and a unit of this quality is introduced such that the extent to which the system has that quality can be expressed in multiples oft that unit. Issues arising from the respective choices of units are dealt with as secondary aspects of data Does it make any sense to u? If I can understand this paragraph I will then be able to finish the last question for my assignment. |

Examples of primary data objects are the actual data for a single IMAGE, or a TABLE containing one hour of data for an instrument. A secondary data object may be associated with the primary data object. Secondary Data Object A data object associated with a primary data object in a data product. A secondary data object may provide additional information or may be necessary for processing or correctly interpreting the primary data object. For example, an engineering table(secondary data object) is often associated with a time series (primary data object) of values from an instrument to provide important housekeeping information required to properly use the data.

If a lecturer (whose primary function is communication, surely) wrote that, there is something seriously wrong in the education "industry". |

| 487626 | 2006-09-28 16:59:00 | The original quoted paragraph is gibberish. If a lecturer (whose primary function is communication, surely) wrote that, there is something seriously wrong in the education "industry". My daughter (mature) is currently doing a distance learning course in the education field and I'm appalled at the badly written assignments she has to cope with. My own experience has been in scientific research and has included technical writing and editing. Poor written communication skills are not uncommon and I can vouch for the fact that the possession of a university degree (or two, or even three) does not guarantee sound basic writing ability. What is horrifying is that inept professional educators are training a new generation of educators and there is no quality control whatsoever in the process. Ninjabear, there is very little you can do about your problem except perhaps for you and the other students to make his life miserable by badgering him for reinterpretations of his work. Lecturers do not seem to respond well to undergraduate students pointing out their failings. On the other hand you might regard this experience as training for the real world where you'll find many examples of the same thing that you'll have to deal with in your career. |
