BSL Data Science Glossary - Extract definition

Definition: Extraction is where there is some detail within the data that you may want to extract to become new, separate data. For example, the data may be a single sentence containing both date and time in it. We may want to extract date and time from this sentence into two separate, individual variables, one containing just the date and the other time. So, we've gone from one variable to three variables, one with both as a single sentence, one with just the date and one with just the time. That's extraction.
