Information Technology for Business: Data Marts, HTML, and Databases

This report provides an overview of key concepts in information technology. It begins by examining the advantages and disadvantages of object-oriented databases, including their ability to model real-world objects and handle various data types, as well as their limitations in terms of universal data modeling and the availability of standards. The report then compares and contrasts data marts and data warehouses, highlighting how data marts are subsets of data warehouses tailored to specific business functions. Finally, it discusses the role and advantages of HTML in web applications, emphasizing its use in structuring web pages and defining the roles of different elements. The report references several sources to support its findings and conclusions. This assignment is a great resource for students looking to understand the fundamentals of database management and web development.

What are the disadvantages and advantages of object oriented databases?
Advanatges of Object oriented data base includes enriched modelling capacity. Object
oriented data models allow modelling of the real world in a more extensive manner. the
object that is encapsulated as per the processimg of the trepresentation of the real world
objects. Another advantage that is enjoyed includes building of new data types from the
existing type. Identufication of properties that atre common in between the several classes
and convert them into a superclass is also one of the major advanateg that is received (El
Alami, Bahaj and Cherti 2016). Ability to handle large number of data types are alos
cosnidered as a major benefit of the OODB. The main disadvabntage that is present includes
the fact that universal datya modelling can not be performed. The number of standards
present are also low.
What are the marts? How do they differ from data warehouses?
Data mart is considerd to be a subject orienetd archive that helsp in storing of the
data ad uses the set of information that are retrieved in nature. This helps in assisting the
requirement that are important in the particular busienss function (Agarwal et al. 2018). Data
mart is considered as a subset of the data warehouse and is used as per the specification of the
busienss line, in other hand data warehoue has a vast depth in the enterprise wide
information.
What is HTML and why is it needed to use the web?
HTML is a stanmdard mark uo language that is used for creation of the webpage.
Web applications are also beneftted from the procvessing of the Hypertext Markup Language
(Kennedy and Musciano 2017). The main benefit of HTML I,mplementation in the field of

web application includes the fact that structure is created by the HTML code that acts as a
refereence. Another usage of HTML in the web application includes proper marking up of all
the headimgs will be provided. Anoter major advantage that will be gained includes defining
the roled of different elements inm the web application.
