Data

The term data refers to groups of information that represent the qualitative or quantitative attributes of a variable or set of variables.
Data are often viewed as the lowest level of abstraction from which information and knowledge are derived.
Raw data refers to a collection of numbers, characters, images or other outputs from devices that collect information to convert physical quantities into symbols, that are unprocessed.
