Data refers to raw facts and figures that can be processed to produce information. It can exist in
various forms, such as numbers, text, images, or sounds. Data is often unorganized and requires
context to be meaningful. The Online Dictionary for Library and Information Science defines
data as figures or instructions presented in a form that can be comprehended, interpreted, and
communicated by a human being or processed by a computer.
