Data are the facts or details from which information is derived. Individual pieces of data are rarely useful alone. For data to become information, data needs to be put into context.
Data: Data is raw, unorganized facts that need to be processed. Data can be something simple and seemingly random and useless until it is organized.
Information: When data is processed, organized, structured or presented in a given context so as to make it useful, it is called information.
Some more differences between data and information:
•Data is used as input for the computer system. Information is the output of data.
•Data is unprocessed facts figures. Information is processed data.
•Data doesn’t depend on Information. Information depends on data.
•Data is not specific. Information is specific.
•Data is a single unit. A group of data which carries news and meaning is called Information.
•Data doesn’t carry a meaning. Information must carry a logical meaning.
•Data is the raw material. Information is the product.
