Hello Wikipedians!

I don't contribute too often to the Wikipedia, but I do when I can. Wikipedia is amazing, thanks to the creators, and all the wonderful contributors! Wikipedia is definitely a "web revolution".

So far, I have added the following submissions: creeping crud, vldb, very large database, chief data officer, installware, institutional trust

I would like to add a submission for the following concept(s):

- God's database: the philosophical notion that if a/an supreme being exists which is all knowing, said supreme being(s) would most likely have a massive, instantly accessible database containing all possible relative facts and dimensions about what exists in the universe. This massive database would have instant data retrieval and storage, and support multi-dimensional query techniques. The phrase may also be used to describe a database containing such a large variety of data as to be able to completely enumerate, quantify and qualify any/all forms of organization/system, or to completely encapsulate an entire problem domain. See also God's algorithm for the notion applied to logic/algorithms. Databases of this size may be used in conjunction with such algorithms for scientific exploration, modeling and testing of problems both large and small. Also see God object for the same concept applied to objects with too much functionality provided by them in object-oriented programming.

- Service organization: an organizational form metaphor for organizations as a function of the services they provide. Services are often made up of systems, including automated systems, information systems, technology and human systems. The concept of a service organization factors in knowledge as a key ingredient to providing valuable service, and builds upon concepts of the knowledge economy.

I hope my contributions have added to our collective knowledge!
