The Data and Analytics Dictionary

A revised and expanded version of the peterjamesthomas.com Data and Analytics Dictionary has been published.

Mobile version of The Data & Analytics Dictionary (yes I have an iPhone 6s in 2020, please don't judge me!)

The previous Dictionary was not the easiest to read on mobile devices. Because of this, the layout has been amended in this release and the mobile experience should now be greatly enhanced. Any feedback on usability would be welcome.

The new Dictionary includes 22 additional definitions, bringing the total number of entries to 220, totalling well over twenty thousand words. As usual, the new definitions range across the data arena: from Data Science and Machine Learning; to Information and Reporting; to Data Governance and Controls. They are as follows:

  1. Analysis Facility
  2. Analytical Repository
  3. Boosting [Machine Learning]
  4. Conformed Data (Conformed Dimension)
  5. Data Capability
  6. Data Capability Framework (Data Capability Model)
  7. Data Capability Review (Data Capability Assessment)
  8. Data Driven
  9. Data Governance Framework
  10. Data Issue Management
  11. Data Maturity
  12. Data Maturity Model
  13. Data Owner
  14. Data Protection Officer (DPO)
  15. Data Roadmap
  16. Geospatial Tool
  17. Image Recognition (Computer Vision)
  18. Overfitting
  19. Pattern Recognition
  20. Robot (Robotics, Bot)
  21. Random Forest
  22. Structured Reporting Framework

Please remember that The Dictionary is a free resource and quoting contents (ideally with acknowledgement) and linking to its entries (via the buttons provided) are both encouraged.

If you would like to contribute a definition, which will of course be acknowledged, you can use the comments section here, or the dedicated form, we look forward to hearing from you [1].

One thought on “An expanded and more mobile-friendly version of the Data & Analytics Dictionary”

  1. This is a very valuable initiative. As the data and analytics ecosystem continues to expand, having a well-structured and accessible dictionary of key terms becomes extremely useful for both practitioners and newcomers in the field.

    The addition of new definitions across areas such as data governance, machine learning, and analytics helps create a clearer understanding of how different disciplines connect within modern data environments.

    Making the resource more mobile-friendly is also a great improvement, as many professionals frequently access technical references on the go. Thanks for continuing to expand and maintain such a helpful knowledge resource.
