in computers through algorithms and practical implementation problems.
Cognitive Science
Studies how the mind works from an information processing perspective.
Information Science
The study of the retrieval, application, use and management of information as well as

information, and knowledge across settings, regions, and even different countries.
Nomenclature
Refers to a system of rules and procedures for adding names used in an art or science,
such as nursing.
Classification
Systems that capture categories, which are then used to determine costs or outcomes
but are insufficient in detail for clinical documentation purposes
, Taxonomy

to provide a conceptual framework for discussion, analysis, or information retrieval.
Data Set
Refers to a named collection of data consisting of individual information organized in a
prescribed fashion
