In order to truly understand what I am explaining you may need to do some research on the OSI model for networking. Data is sent down the OSI layers as data until it reaches the physical layer. Then the data is turned into signals and transferred down the wire. When signals come in the reverse happens, the physical layer gets the signal and transforms it into data.
I think that data is implemented in a signal (Digital or Analog), in other words data is the meaning of signal.
