Question Question 10
How is data different from information?
Data is different from information in the following ways:
| Data | Information |
|---|---|
| Data is the lowest level of abstraction. | Information is one level higher abstraction than data. |
| Data is unstructured and carries no meaning. | Information is derived by interpreting and processing data. |
| For example, marks such as 67, 88, 90 and 77 are considered data. | For example, when these marks are related to a boy named Rohit, a student of class IX who has scored 67 in English, 88 in Maths, 90 in Physics and 77 in Chemistry then it becomes information. |
