NEWTON'S TELECOM DICTIONARY
Data Stream 1. Collection of characters and data bits

transmitted through a channel.
2. An SCSA term. A continuous flow of call processing data.
Data Surfer A person who makes a living doing online
research and information retrieval. Also known as a Cybrarian
(comes from cyberspace librarian) or a super searcher. See
Cybrarian.
Data Switching Exchange DSE. The equipment
installed at a single location to perform switching functions
such as circuit switching, message switching, and packet
switching.
Data Synchronization The process of keeping database
data timely and relevant by sending and receiving information
between laptops, between desktops in the field and between
bigger computers at headquarters. See also Synchronization
and Replication.
Data Terminal Equipment DTE. A definition of hardware specifications that provides for data communications.
There are two basic specs your hardware can conform to, DTE
(Data Terminal Equipment) or DCE (Data Communications
Equipment). See DCE and DTE.
Data Terminal Ready One of the control signals on a
standard RS-232-C connector. It indicates if the data terminal
equipment is present, connected and ready and has had handshaking signals verified. See RS-232-C and the Appendix.
Data Transfer Rate The average number of bits, characters, or blocks per unit of time passing in a data transmission
system.
Data Transfer Request Signal A call control signal
transmitted by a DCE to a DTE to indicate that a distant DTE
wants to exchange data.
Data Transfer Time The time that elapses between the
initial offering of a unit of user data to a network by transmitting data terminal equipment and the complete delivery of that
unit to receiving data terminal equipment.
Data Typing When converting a database from one format to
another, several conversion programs will convert the data to a
common format before converting it to the final version. During
the conversion process a program may check through the data
in the database to determine what it is and arbitrarily make one
field numeric, one field character, one field memo, etc.
Data User Part DUP. Higher layer application protocol in
SS7 for the exchange of circuit switched data; not supported
by ISDNs.
Data Warehouse A database warehouse consolidates
information from many departments within a company. This
data can either be accessed quickly by users or put on an
OLAP server for more thorough analysis. Data warehouses
often use OLAP servers. OLAP stands for On Line Analytical
Processing, also called a multidimensional database.
According to PC Week, these databases can slice and dice
reams of data to produce meaningful results that go far
beyond what can be produced using the traditional twodimensional query and report tools that work with most relational databases. OLAP data servers are best suited to work
with data warehouses. See Data Warehousing.
Imaging Magazine, one of our publications, wrote a story on
data warehouses. The writer, Joni Blecher, found "defining a
data warehouse to be puzzling at best." She said these definitions seem to make the most sense.
A collection of physical data stores designed to concisely present a historical perspective of the events that occur in an enterprise. Data warehousing is a set of activities some of which are
optional and some mandatory that create, operate and evolve

the collection of data stores that make up the data warehouse.
• Actium. An extremely comprehensive solution that includes
hardware, software, middleware, partner products as well as
their own professional services focused on solving business
problems through the enterprise level.
• NCR. The place where business managers can access
information for managerial processes. They're built for decision making purposes. It's an elaborate process that consists
of a solution made up of many products.
• Oracle. A group of individuals, processes, methodologies
— all the things that deal with and manage data including
cleansing, enhancing, standardizing, consolidating and disseminating it.
• Acxiom. A data store that companies build where they're
storing their information assets so they can extract knowledge
and understanding to the operation and performance of their
business.
• Logic Works.
Data Warehousing A software strategy in which data is
extracted from large transactional databases and other
sources and stored in smaller databases, making analysis of
the data somewhat easier. See Data Warehouse.
Database A collection of data structured and organized in
a disciplined fashion so that access is possible quickly to
information of interest. There are many ways of organizing
databases. Most corporate databases are not one single, huge
file. They are multiple databases related to each other by some
common thread, e.g. an employee identification number.
Databases are made up of two elements, a record and a field.
A record is one complete entry in a database, e.g. Gerry
Friesen, 12 West 21 Street, New York, NY 10010, 212-6918215. A field would be the street address field, namely 12
West 21 Street.
Databases are stored on computers in different ways. Some
are comma delineated. They differentiate between their fields
with commas — like Gerry's record above. A more common
way of storing databases is with fixed length records. Here, all
the fields and all the records are of the same length. The computer finds field by index and by counting. For example,
Gerry's first name might occupy the first 15 characters.
Gerry's last name might be the next 20 characters, etc. Where
Gerry's names are too short to fill the full 15 or 20 characters,
their fields are "padded" with specially-chosen characters
which the computer recognizes as padded characters to be
ignored. The most important thing to remember about databases is that all the common database programs, like dBASE,
Paradox, Rbase, etc. don't automatically make backups of
their files like word processing programs do. Therefore,
before you muck with a database file — sort it, index it,
restructure it, etc. Please make sure you make a backup of the
main database file.
Database Administrator 1. A person who organizes,
designs, implements and runs the company's databases. Since
I personally believe databases — especially of prospects and
customers — are pretty well a company's most important
asset, this job of database administrator is very important.
2. DBA. A computer at MCI Worldcom that maintains the
master file of Vnet translation information. The master file is
created when a customer begins servic6 and can be changed
at anytime through CIM. The updated copies of the database
are downloaded each night to the DAPs.
Database Lookup A software program which allows telephone users to find information on someone calling via the
LCD window on their phone. This information comes to the
