Data maintenance is the adding, deleting, changing and updating of binary and high level files, and the real world data associated with those files. Data can be maintained manually and/or through an automated program, but at origination and translation/delivery point must be translated into a binary representation for storage. Data is usually edited at a slightly higher level in a format relevant to the content of the data (such as text, images, or scientific or financial information).
