The starting point of all the computer systems applied to agro-environmental field is the data that are produced . The data or signals are a means for conveying information from different types of source . On this information then there are two distinct levels of treatment , one purely of processing and the other, to the highest level of management, communication and storage . In general , the areas dedicated to the development of the methods for dealing with the acquisition , analysis and interpretation of the information contained in the data directly . This type of analysis is usually performed immediately after the time of acquisition and generally in the same place in which the acquisition takes place . Combine an experimental science such as biotechnology and methods , technologies rational arisen from was one of the greatest silent revolutions of our times. Many bioinformatics , consciously or not, are actively contributing to this revolution .
