 Difference Between Data and Information

Main difference:

The major difference between data and information is that data is raw material that is to be processed and information is the processed data.

Data VS Information

<u>Data</u><em>: </em>

  • Data is the raw material that is to be processed for information or for collection of details.
  • It is unorganized data or facts that are to be processed.
  • Data is plain fact and it has to be processed for further information. Data is alone enough to get details and find the meaning of something.
  • Data is the computers language.
  • Data is useless unless it is processed or has been made into something.
  • Data has no meaning when it has not been interpreted.
  • Data is an unclear definition of words jumbled up to form one meaning of something.
  • Data comes in figures, dates and numbers and is not processed.

<u>Information: </u>

  • Information is processed data.
  • The data that can be made useful is known as information. Information is basically the data plus the meaning of what the data was collected for.
  • Data does not depend upon information but information depends upon data.
  • It cannot be generated without the help of data. Information is something that is being conveyed.
  • Information is meaningful when data is gathered and meaning is generated. Information cannot be generated without the help of data.
  • Information is the meaning that has been formed with the help of data and that meaning makes sense because of the data that has been collected against the word.
  • Information is processed and comes in a meaningful form.

Differences:

The major differences between data and information are:

  • Data is the input language for a computer and information is the output language for human
  • Data is unprocessed facts or mere figures but information is processed data which has been made sense of
  • Data does not depend on information but information depends on data and without it, information cannot be processed
  • Data is not specific but information is specific enough to generate meaning
  • Data is the raw material that is collected but information is a detailed meaning generated from the data

You are a cleared employee. Your friend called and told you that he saw information about the classified XYZ program on the Inte
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Yes, because though you are a cleared employee, the classified information should not be open for all employees to see as it is a data disclosure violation.

Explanation:

Data is a vital tool in the business industry. The need to secure data or present it to be seen by competitors is very crucial as it maintains the dominance of a company on its competitors.

Only authorized employees in a company are allowed to view classified data and must report any siting of data spill, to avoid prosecution.
