Actualizing the information management with the help of the data processing systems in academic foundations: A sample of Afyon Kocatepe University

Institutions established their own information systems in order to collect, organize and manage their data and by sharing the explicit information contributed to the institutionalization of information Unused or unshared information in the databases because of some difficult processes show that the notion of implicit information does not only take place in our minds. Today information is the most valuable asset for institutions and organizations and for this fact, the importance of uncovering the implicit information has raised and studies about this subject have gained speed.In the first two parts of this study a literature study has been made and concepts of data, data systems and information systems are studied in details.In the following two parts, data systems at Afyon Kocatepe University have been studied and their contribution to the information management and effects of explicit and implicit information on databases has been investigated. Innovations on information management have been investigated by collecting data systems which work independently and unaware of other systems under a unified system. The concepts of a model have been defined by taking the necessary steps to unify the data systems under a single structure.
