Answer:
The most accurate description of the data that Minsuh encounters is C. The data has become a data swamp. According to the web search results, a data swamp is an unmanaged data lake that is either inaccessible to intended users or provides little value1. Data swamps occur when adequate data quality and data governance measures are not implemented1. In this case, Chunhua has collected and stored a lot of data that could be potentially useful for financial forecasting, but she has not organized, documented, or used it for any other purposes. This makes the data hard to find, understand, and analyze for Minsuh and other users. The data is not dark data, because dark data refers to the information assets that are not used for other purposes, but are still retained for compliance purposes1. Chunhua’s data is not retained for compliance, but for possible future use. The data is not metadata, because metadata is data that describes other data2. Chunhua’s data is not describing other data, but is the raw data itself. The data may or may not be part of the data warehouse, depending on how the company defines and manages its data warehouse. A data warehouse is a repository for structured, filtered data that has already been processed for a specific purpose3. Chunhua’s data is not processed or filtered, but it may still be stored in the same repository as the data warehouse. Therefore, this option is not necessarily accurate or relevant.
