Computational knowledge management
Informatics is the science of processing and managing information, especially through computers.
The term encompasses how data is collected, organized, stored, and retrieved.
It appears in compound forms naming specialized fields: bioinformatics, health informatics, library informatics.
More common in European and academic contexts than in everyday American usage, where computer science or information technology often covers similar ground.
