The Discovery Investigations were a series of scientific cruises and shore-based investigations into the biology of whales in the Southern Ocean.

They were funded by the British Colonial Office and organised by the Discovery Committee in London, which was formed in 1918.

They were intended to provide the scientific background to stock management of the commercial Antarctic whale fishery.

Electronic discovery (also e-discovery or ediscovery) refers to discovery in legal proceedings such as litigation, government investigations, or Freedom of Information Act requests, where the information sought is in electronic format (often referred to as electronically stored information or ESI).

Electronic discovery is subject to rules of civil procedure and agreed-upon processes, often involving review for privilege and relevance before data are turned over to the requesting party.

Eureka is an interjection used to celebrate a discovery or invention.

It is a transliteration of an exclamation attributed to Ancient Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes.

Unstructured data (or unstructured information) refers to information that either does not have a pre-defined data model or is not organized in a pre-defined manner.

Unstructured information is typically text-heavy, but may contain data such as dates, numbers, and facts as well.

This results in irregularities and ambiguities that make it difficult to understand using traditional programs as compared to data stored in fielded form in databases or annotated (semantically tagged) in documents.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) is a regulation by which the European Parliament, the European Council and the European Commission intend to strengthen and unify data protection for individuals within the European Union (EU).

It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU.

The primary objectives of the GDPR are to give citizens back control of their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.

When the GDPR takes effect it will replace the data protection directive (officially Directive 95/46/EC) from 1995.

The regulation was adopted on 27 April 2016.

It applies from 25 May 2018 after a two-year transition period and, unlike a directive, it does not require any enabling legislation to be passed by national governments.
