Universal data abstraction

Universal Data Abstraction is a digital native skill that will enable people to use any repeatable representational approach to encode information content. As long as the representational approach is object and repeatable, any amount of information can be encoded in "data", that is why data abstraction can be considered to be "Universal".

In data asset management practices, the physical size of data, is often measured in terms of the time and space required to transfer or replicate the asset. Therefore, we created the asset classification in terms of Page/File/Service, each adheres to a broad type of asset management functional category. In the case of Page/File/Service classification, they each relates to data presentation, data storage, and data provisioning.

Three Examples of Universal Data Abstraction

1. Page: In a web browser environment, all data are being presented through Page-based" representation.
2. File: In computer operating systems, all data sets, devices, and communicating channels are considered to be Files.
3. Service: In network-connected computing systems, recently considered to be the computing cloud, all data sets, devices, and communicating channels are considered to be Services.
