Data Storage

In the introduction of this lesson we showed you a few data examples and told you that after having studied this lesson, you should be able to define the best storage method for the given data examples:

Picture of Red Deer (Atlas of Switzerland 2.0 2004)

Describing Text (Atlas of Switzerland 2.0 2004)

Picture of occurence of Red Deer (Atlas of Switzerland 2.0 2004)

Table with Red Deer Occurence

We now want you to define the storage methods for the examples above (plain text file, ASCII, XML or database). Give reasons for your decision. Discuss your results on the discussion board "Data Storage" of this lesson and comment on at least three entries of your colleagues.

Hint: Think carefully about what type of data (text, image, etc.) the presented example is of.

XML Quiz

On the W3Schools homepage exists an XML Quiz where you can test your XML skills. The test contains 20 questions and there is no time limit. You will get 1 point for each correct answer. At the end of the Quiz, your total score will be displayed.

This Quiz is designed for the W3Schools XML tutorial which contains more information about XML than we presented here in this lesson. Therefore, you do not have to know the right answers for the following questions: 10, 18, 19 and 20. But you should be able to find the right answers for all the other questions.

Good Luck! Start the XML Quiz.
