Record

Current consensus

A record, is a collection of all the facts, attribute values combined into one row of data in a table, and sometimes referred to as a tuple in some, particularly older, database management systems.

Explanation

Ideally, each record refers to a single object or person. This row can represent or relate different records in different tables to a single physical or conceptual entity. Data quality and data cleansing remove duplicate rows confusing master data with extraneous details.This term is occasionally used as a short-hand means of referring to the package of data about one cultural heritage object.
