Cyber Glossary
Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.
Database Management
sometimes called database warehousing, a system for the smooth and efficient entering, storage, and retrieving of data so access to the information is gained by one of several methods. For example, a credit card company is able to access your account by entering your last name, your social security number, your birth date, maiden name, or actual account number. Database management is an industry unto itself under the even larger umbrella of information technology. There are a number of elaborate software systems available for the management of databases of all sizes.
