Resumen
The term "Information Explosion" refers to the increasing amount of information available in digital form and also to the phenomenal growth in the breadth of information dissemination. The information explosion is often viewed as the result of low-cost computing and storage devices used not only in business, but increasingly in private homes, availability of simple, easy to use interfaces. In the field of computer science, the subfield of database systems is devoted to the study of problems of managing large volumes of data. From its roots in commercial data processing, database system research has developed into one of the great success stories of computer science. A major strength of database systems is the ability to provide rapid access to information while ensuring accurate incorporation of database updates. The twin virtues of speed and accuracy have enabled development of huge financial systems, reservation systems, and other business systems. The information base over which the system operates will include well-structured traditional data.
