Job Description
Databases and data services form the basis of many of the systems we use today. Each element of the process of collecting, modelling, storing, filtering and processing data can raise technical, conceptual, methodological and ethical challenges that must be engaged with in a critical way. This module builds on concepts and skill relating to data structures, data handling and web technologies from previous models, providing advanced level knowledge and techniques for working with data in a computational environment.
In this module, you will develop how you think about and work with data. You will learn how to use relational databases, as well as alternative approaches (NoSQL, XML and Linked Data). You will explore the ethics of gathering, processing and sharing data, and look at issues of security. You will also learn about rich data sources such as text, audio and video and strategies for working with them
