Data vs. Information Explained

Data refers to raw facts that are collected, while information refers to processed data that enables decision making. For example, a test result contains data of all students' scores, but an individual student's marks provide the information to know if they passed or failed. Data refers to any information presented in an agreed and accepted form by its creators and users.
