The size can vary from small to massive, and relationships between the traits broken down to very specific criteria.

Context

Application technologies enable our means of communications through e-mail, social media, and networking. These technologies also expand the functionality of computers by providing the ability to manipulate small and large amounts of data.

A major application is the database, the backbone of all organized information. Collections of data may appear meaningless in bulk, but when translated into records and fields, they take on immeasurable value through the abilities to search, sort, filter, generate reports, and establish relationships between databases. One characteristic is the ability to construct a database on a small scale or with immense range. Examples include a simple team roster and merged documents to a sophisticated customer service report. Other popular applications include file management systems, file sharing, big data, and project management software.
