Roh, Maré

Roh and Maré are distinct concepts with potentially overlapping usage in specific contexts, particularly those related to software development or data processing. Understanding their individual meanings is crucial.

Roh (often translated as "raw" or "crude" from German) typically signifies data or information in its unprocessed, unrefined, or original state. This data hasn't undergone any transformations, calculations, formatting, or cleaning. It's the initial input before any meaningful analysis or manipulation occurs. Consider it the unedited source material.

Maré (Portuguese for "tide") is often used metaphorically to describe a large quantity or surge of something, especially data or events. It suggests a fluctuating and substantial volume that can impact a system or process. Think of a "tidal wave" of data impacting a database. It differs from 'Roh' in that it emphasizes the amount and possibly the cyclical nature of data, rather than its unprocessed state.

In the context of data processing, one might speak of the "Rohdaten" (raw data in German) being subjected to analysis to understand a "Maré" of customer feedback (a surge of customer opinions). The "Roh" data, in this instance, refers to the original customer comments, while the "Maré" refers to the overwhelming volume of this feedback.
