Administration publiqueL’administration publique est l'activité d'administration qui matérialise l'exercice des pouvoirs publics. Par métonymie, une administration publique est une organisation qui incarne une collectivité publique, soit un État, une collectivité territoriale, ou une organisation ou institution internationale. Une administration publique peut prendre la forme juridique d'un , mais elle peut également en désigner un simple service (au sens d'un composant organisationnel).
Conceptual schemaA conceptual schema or conceptual data model is a high-level description of informational needs underlying the design of a database. It typically includes only the main concepts and the main relationships among them. Typically this is a first-cut model, with insufficient detail to build an actual database. This level describes the structure of the whole database for a group of users. The conceptual model is also known as the data model that can be used to describe the conceptual schema when a database system is implemented.
Conceptual modelA conceptual model is a representation of a system. It consists of concepts used to help people know, understand, or simulate a subject the model represents. In contrast, a physical model focuses on a physical object such as a toy model that may be assembled and made to work like the object it represents. The term may refer to models that are formed after a conceptualization or generalization process. Conceptual models are often abstractions of things in the real world, whether physical or social.
Politique publiqueUne politique publique est une intervention de l'État ou d'une autre autorité publique (banque centrale, collectivité territoriale, ...) afin d'avoir un effet sur la société ou un territoire. Les politiques publiques sont la modalité d'action de la puissance publique. Jean-Claude Thoenig définit les politiques publiques comme les . Le terme prend un sens différent selon la discipline qui l'utilise.
Public policy schoolA public policy school is typically a university program, institution, or professional school that teaches students policy analysis, program evaluation, policy studies, public policy, political economy, urban planning, public administration, international relations, security studies, nonprofit studies-nonprofit management, political science, urban studies, intelligence studies, global studies, emergency management, public affairs and/or public management. Public policy schools typically train students in two streams.
PolicyPolicy is a deliberate system of guidelines to guide decisions and achieve rational outcomes. A policy is a statement of intent and is implemented as a procedure or protocol. Policies are generally adopted by a governance body within an organization. Policies can assist in both subjective and objective decision making. Policies used in subjective decision-making usually assist senior management with decisions that must be based on the relative merits of a number of factors, and as a result, are often hard to test objectively, e.
Database schemaThe database schema is the structure of a database described in a formal language supported typically by a relational database management system (RDBMS). The term "schema" refers to the organization of data as a blueprint of how the database is constructed (divided into database tables in the case of relational databases). The formal definition of a database schema is a set of formulas (sentences) called integrity constraints imposed on a database. These integrity constraints ensure compatibility between parts of the schema.
Conceptual blendingIn cognitive linguistics, conceptual blending, also called conceptual integration or view application, is a theory of cognition developed by Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner. According to this theory, elements and vital relations from diverse scenarios are "blended" in a subconscious process, which is assumed to be ubiquitous to everyday thought and language. Much like memetics, it is an attempt to create a unitary account of the cultural transmission of ideas.
Évaluation des politiques publiquesL’évaluation des politiques publiques en tant que nouvel outil d’aide à la décision publique est apparue aux États-Unis dans les années 1960 avant de se développer au Royaume-Uni, dans les pays scandinaves puis dans les autres démocraties occidentales vingt ans plus tard, notamment à l’initiative de la Commission européenne, qui en a fait une exigence règlementaire systématique dans le cadre des financements alloués aux États membres à partir des années 1990.
Physical schemaA physical data model (or database design) is a representation of a data design as implemented, or intended to be implemented, in a database management system. In the lifecycle of a project it typically derives from a logical data model, though it may be reverse-engineered from a given database implementation. A complete physical data model will include all the database artifacts required to create relationships between tables or to achieve performance goals, such as indexes, constraint definitions, linking tables, partitioned tables or clusters.
