DNS (Domain Name System) is a global, distributed, delegated database of records about domain names. Each type of record holds a specific type of information. DNS is queried with a domain name and desired record type. The response is the record data associated with the queried data. Some records contain an IP address for a domain name, other record types contain email or SIP server information for a domain name, etc.
