Direct and indirect sources of data
- Direct data capture is the collection of data for a particular purpose (e.g. barcodes being read at a supermarket
so that the product can be identified or account details being read directly from the chip embedded in the credit
card.)
- Indirect data capture is the collection of data as a by-product from data collected for another purpose (e.g. using
data collected from reading barcodes at a supermarket till to work out the stock levels or using data collected
from reading barcodes to see whether an item is selling well.)
