As per our textbook, Access, a relational database application, is the most widely used PC-based database management system (DBMS) software for both personal and business users. Like other database systems, the structure of the database file is of the utmost importance. For this exercise, you must demonstrate your understanding of the Access database system by describing how you would begin to create a database file with one of its tables (No templates). Your example may be a personal or business database. In addition, what are the advantages of managing database information in Access versus using an Excel spreadsheet?

Chapter 15 – From the week’s chapter reading, we learn from the author’s case studies that, despite the alleged importance of scientific advice in the policy-making process, its evident that scientific results are often not used.  Why? The authors proposed a science-policy interface that would be realized by the inclusion of information visualization in the policy analysis process.  That way, the gap between both fields can be addressed based on the current challenges of science-policy interfaces with visualizations. 

Q1: According to Shneiderman and Bederson (2003), information visualization emerged from research in human-computer interaction, computer science, graphics, visual design, psychology, and business.  With this revelation in mind, identify, and discuss the benefits?

1. identify, and name these benefits.

2. provide a clear narrative to support your response — Not a general definition from the Internet
