   The interchange of the words data and information is widespread, but I can help you to develop a clearer understanding of the differences between the two. DATA: 1. Facts, statistics used for reference or analysis. 2. Numbers, characters, symbols, images etc., which can be processed by a computer. 3. Data must be interpreted, by a human or machine, to derive meaning 4. Data is a representation of information. INFORMATION: . 1. Knowledge derived from study, experience (by the senses), or instruction. 2. Communication of intelligence. 3. Information is any kind of knowledge that is exchangeable amongst people, about things, facts, concepts, etc., in some context. 4. Information is interpreted data.
