the needs and interests of a specific group of people
7 Phases of the Data life cycle - ANSWERSCapture - the act of creating data that has
not yet existed

Usage - the application of data as information to tasks that the enterprise needs to run
and manage itself
Publication - The sending of data to a location outside of the enterprise
Archival - the copying of data to a location outside of the enterprise
Purging - removal of every copy of the data
