Objectives

- Consolidate the acquired knowledge and develop new skills related with the theoretical and methodological principles oriented to the information storage, representation, retrieval and use, independently of the information nature, the information lifecycle stadium, the production method and storage medium.
- Consolidate the acquired knowledge and develop new skills related to the theoretical and methodological principles oriented to the analysis, planning and implementation of the information storage and retrieval processes and related to the main methodologies, media, formats, standards, technologies and other tools, specifically directed to the information storage, representation and retrieval.
- Acquire the competences related with the development/support of the main processes related to the analysis, planning and implementation of information storage and retrieval systems and develop those related with the supporting and performing of techniques, standards, technologies and other tools directed to information storage, representation, retrieval, continuous access and use, despite the used platform.

Learning outcomes and competences

- Be able to develop/support the analysis, planning and implementation of information storage and retrieval processes despite the information nature, the information lifecycle stadium, the production method or the medium of storage..
- Be able to support and perform the techniques, standards and other tools directed to storage, representation, retrieval, continuous access and use of information, despite the used plataform.
- Apply and correctly use the technologies, considering them as a non dissociated component of the information storage, representation and retrieval processes.
