📖 1. Data vs. Information

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Data: Raw, unprocessed facts such as characters, numbers, images, or symbols that have no context or meaning on their own.
    Example: "12345" or a list of customer names.

  • Information: Data that has been processed, organized, or formatted to provide meaning and support decision-making.
    Example: A report showing total sales per month.

  • Knowledge: The understanding and insights gained from analyzing and interpreting information, enabling informed decisions.
    Example: Recognizing sales trends over time to forecast future demand.

  • Data Dependence: The reliance of data access and processing on the structure of data files, leading to inflexibility and complexity.
    Example: Changes in file structure require modifications in all programs accessing the data.

  • Data Redundancy: The unnecessary duplication of data across multiple storage locations, often causing inconsistency.
    Example: Same customer data stored in different departmental files.
