Data is a plural of datum, which is originally a Latin noun meaning âsomething given.â Today, data is used in English both as a plural noun meaning âfacts or pieces of informationâ (These data are described more fully elsewhere) and as a singular mass noun meaning âinformationâ: Not much data is available on flood control in Brazil.
Information (shortened as info or info. ) is that which informs, i.e. an answer to a question, as well as that from which knowledge and data can be derived (as data represents values attributed to parameters, and knowledge signifies understanding of real things or abstract concepts).s it regards data, the information's existence is not necessarily coupled to an observer (it exists beyond an event horizon, for example), while in the case of knowledge, the information requires a cognitive observer. At its most fundamental, information is any propagation of cause and effect within a system.
