[All L6M7 Questions]

Data Processing includes which of the following steps?

AAcquisition

BReporting

CControlling

DProcessing

EStoring

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B, D, E

The Data Processing cycle is acquisition - processing - reporting- storing. Do learn this off by heart. The term processing means anything from using data, to altering it, to moving it or publishing it. Data controller is a person or organisation that determines how the data is processed, but it's rarely used as a verb (you don't say I'm 'controlling' the data'). P. 121

I believe all the options are part of data processing. Each step plays a crucial role in managing data effectively.

C) Controlling? Really? I thought that was more of a management thing, not part of the actual data processing itself.

E) Storing is also important, otherwise where would we keep all that data? Gotta have a place to put it, you know?

I agree with Annice. Reporting and Controlling are also important steps in data processing.

Hmm, I'd say A) Acquisition is crucial too. Can't process data if you don't have it in the first place!

I think the correct answer is D) Processing. That's the core step in data processing, after all.
