Tout comme certains entrepôts de données sont devenus de gigantesques trous noirs desquels de vastes quantités de données ne s'échappent jamais, un lac de données peut vite se transformer en un marécage de données si des politiques de gouvernance appropriées ne sont pas appliquées. 4, record 1, French, - mar%C3%A9cage%20de%20donn%C3%A9es

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A serious problem encountered with complex-shaped injection-molded parts is warpage... Possible causes for warpage include overpacking in the gate area because of high injection pressure, improperly balanced core and cavity temperatures, molded-in strains caused by low stock temperature or the mold being too cold, too long a flow, insufficient gates, improper design, nonuniform walls, improperly balanced multiple gates, the part being ejected when it is too hot, or inadequate or poor location of the knockout mechanism. 4, record 2, English, - warpage

The state of an economy in which industry is largely under foreign control, and hence fails to carry out a number of its usual functions. 1, record 3, English, - truncation
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
This results in inadequate growth, employment, and trade. Many of the essential functions of individual firms, such as research and development, industrial design, marketing, investment planning, and corporate finance and strategy, are performed by their foreign parents rather than by the subsidiaries in a country such as Canada. Such a situation means that native skills will not be developed fully, and that fewer of the spin-off industries that result from these skills and activities will be created. 1, record 3, English, - truncation

De nombreuses compagnies américaines ont, par exemple, créé leurs premières filiales au Canada mais en possèdent maintenant dans de nombreux pays. L'existence de moyens de production dans divers pays accroît la puissance et la souplesse de l'entreprise multinationale [...] dans ses rapports avec le gouvernement canadien. Elle aggrave également le problème du démembrement en réduisant la tendance de l'entreprise multinationale [...] à implanter davantage d'activités au Canada surtout du fait que d'autres gouvernements interviennent pour contrôler les entreprises appartenant à des non-résidents qui se trouvent sur leur territoire. Les négociations que d'autres gouvernements concluent avec une (entreprise multinationale) peuvent produire un effet désavantageux pour le Canada, particulièrement si celui-ci ne dispose pas de mécanismes de négociation ou décide de ne pas les utiliser. 1, record 3, French, - d%C3%A9membrement

Flying rock may result from inadequate stemming or back-filling, or poor design of charges(too much powder in too few holes). Unpredictable break-throughs sometimes occur, however, in cracked or inhomogeneous material, and it is prudent, if there are buildings, people or equipment nearby to use a safety mat. Most municipal regulations require it in any case. 3, record 4, English, - rope%20blasting%20mat

Les projections de rocs peuvent résulter d'un bourrage ou d'un remplissage final inappropriés, ou d'une mauvaise disposition des charges (trop de poudre dans trop peu de trous). Des percées imprévisibles peuvent cependant parfois se produire dans un matériau fissuré ou hétérogène, et, dans le cas où des personnes ou de l'équipement se trouvent dans le voisinage du bâtiment, il est prudent d'utiliser un paillasson pare-éclats. La plupart des règlements municipaux exigent d'ailleurs leur emploi en toutes circonstances. 2, record 4, French, - paillasson%20pare%2D%C3%A9clats%20en%20corde
