Data pack

A data pack (or fact pack) is a pre-made database that can be fed to a software, such as software agents, Internet bots or chatterbots, to teach information and facts, which it can later look up.

Common data packs may include abbreviations, acronyms, dictionaries, lexicons and technical data, such as country codes, RFCs, filename extensions, TCP and UDP port numbers, country calling codes.

Data packs may come in formats of CSV and SQL that can easily be parsed or imported into a database management system.

The database may consist of a key-value pair, like an association list.
