During the creation of a data dictionary, an analyst must document the hierarchy structure that explains how raw data aggregates into higher-level groupings. Which of the following sequences lists the components in order from the smallest logical unit to the largest in a typical information system?
Bit β Byte β Field β Record β File β Database
Bit β Field β Byte β File β Record β Database
Byte β Bit β Field β Record β File β Database
Byte β Field β Record β Database β File β Bit
A standard data-hierarchy document begins with the bit (the binary 0 or 1), groups bits into bytes that represent individual characters, combines related bytes into a field (column), groups related fields into a record (row), aggregates related records into a file (table), and finally organizes related files into a database. Sequences that reverse any of these steps or place components out of order misrepresent the logical progression and would hinder accurate data documentation.
