1.7 Definition of Terms

Management: It is the co-ordination of all the resources of an organization through the process of planning organization, directing and controlling.

System: Physical component of a computer that is used to perform certain task.           Data: Numbers, Text or image which is in the form suitable for Storage in or processing by a computer, or incomplete Information.                            Information: A meaning full material derived from computer data by organizing it and interpreting it in a specified way.

Input: Data entered into a computer for storage or processing.                                      Output: Information produced from a computer after processing.

Information System: A set of interrelated components that collect (or retrieve), process, store and distribute information to support decision making and control in an organization.

Computer: Computer is an electronic device that accepts data as Input, processes data and gives out information as output to the user

Software:- Software is set of related programs that  are designed by the manufacturer to control the hardware and to enable the  computer perform a given task.

Hardware: - Hardware is a physical part of a computer that can be touched, seen, feel which are been control by the software to perform a given task.

Database: - Database is the collection of related data in an organized form.                                 PROGRAMMING: - programming is a set of coded  instruction which the computers understands and obey.

Technology: -Technology is the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use technical and their interrelation with life, society and the environment, drawing upon such as industrial art, engineering, applied science and pure science.

Algorithm: A set of logic rules determined during the design phase of a data matching application. The 'blueprint' used to turn logic rules into computer instructions that detail what step to perform in what order.

Application: The final combination of software and hardware which performs the data matching.

Data matching database: A structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer system.

Data cleansing: The proactive identification and correction of data quality issues which affect an agency's ability to effectively use its data

Data integrity: The quality of correctness, completeness and complain with the intention of the creators of the data i.e. 'fit for purpose'.

Enrollment: The process of an individual to enroll in an agency. Involves the initial collection of identifying details

1.8 projects Organization

This project consists of five (5) chapters. Chapter 1 discusses on the introduction of the system. The purpose of this chapter is to briefly explain about the overview system that is developed. This chapter also supply with the problem statements, objectives and the scope of the study.

Chapter 2 is literature review.  As the name given the purpose of this chapter is to reviews the previous research works which was conducted by other researches. All the relevant journal, thesis and books taken from those researches will be discussed in detail.

Chapter 3 is research methodology; this chapter reveals the techniques, algorithms and related software that will be used for the project development. Besides that, it will also discuss about the process flow in detail of this research.                      Chapter 4 is implementation and testing. This chapter documenting all the process that involved in developing this system and the testing made to the system.                Lastly, chapter 5, the conclusion concludes and come out with a summary about the developed project.
