Data consists of raw facts and figures. When that data is processed into sets according to context, it provides information.
For example, recording the temperature of your classroom continuously over a set period is data collection. From that data information may be derived, such as the highest, lowest, and average temperatures over that period.
A computer follows instructions (a 'program') in order to process 'data' into 'information', and can make possible the processing of vastly greater amounts of data that can be achieved efficiently otherwise.
I'll give you an example,
Data: Each student's test score is a piece of data.
Information: The class' average score or the school's average score is the information that can be concluded from the given data.
The difference between data and information is that one is spelt incorrectly.
Data is information.
is data different from information?
Differentiate shape data for information?
A logical database is the structure of data. It is the different pieces of information and the relationships between them.
data is raw. It is the collection of facts, figures which in itself do not provide any useful or meaningful context. Data when processed becomes information. it is information and not the data which is useful for managers. For example, age of all personnel working in an organisation is Data, while, average age is information.
An IDoc (Intermediate Document) is a data format used by SAP systems to exchange information between different systems, such as SAP to non-SAP systems or between different SAP systems. It is structured and standardized, containing both the data and information about the data structure. IDocs are used for various purposes, including EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) with external partners or for integration between different SAP modules.
data record is about the Recording of data .. while information is the data which we are about to record
In this context, an object is the data or information that you want to share between the programs.
Data is called raw data or facts. But data with some context is called information, and information becomes knowledge which can be shared.
Think of "data" as facts, and "information" as how they relate to each other.
Email fax is a document or data contains information, while memo is a file or data that contains a reminder, a letter or schedules.
