Digitalization of data
Digitalization is the process
of converting information into a digital format. In this format information is
organized into discrete units of data (called bits) that can be separately
addressed (usually in multiple-bit groups called byte s).
Digitalization of data is a
means or process of converting physical or written records such as text,
images, video and audio into digital form. Digitalization of data gives room for
accessing, preservation and sharing of information.
Digitalized data offers the
following benefits: Long term preservation of documents, orderly archiving of
documents, easy & customized access to information, easy information
dissemination through images & text, CD-ROMs, internet intranets, and
extranets.
