Data Centric is a term used to define those web sites that process and present large amounts of data.
The data could be accepted through fill-in forms or from uploaded data files and it could be presented as lists.
The data tends to be dynamic in nature and the web site has value since it presents this ever-changing data in a form that is easily understood.
Data Centric sites are usually connected to a large database that could be SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle etc
The data in the database may come from or be sent to a non-web site program or 'back-end' system.
