Akvisitsioon

Akvisitsioon is a term used in the field of computer science and information technology to describe the process of acquiring or obtaining data from a remote or external source. This process is often automated and can involve various methods such as web scraping, API calls, or data extraction from databases. Akvisitsioon is crucial for data integration, where information from different sources is combined to provide a comprehensive view or analysis. It is commonly used in data warehousing, business intelligence, and machine learning applications. The term "akvisitsioon" is derived from the Estonian word "akvitsitsioon," which means "acquisition" or "receipt." The process typically involves several steps, including data identification, extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL). Data identification involves determining the source and type of data needed. Extraction involves retrieving the data from the source, which can be done through various means such as web scraping, API calls, or database queries. Transformation involves cleaning and formatting the data to make it suitable for analysis. Loading involves storing the data in a target database or data warehouse. Akvisitsioon is an essential process in the modern data-driven world, enabling organizations to make informed decisions based on accurate and up-to-date information.
