Abstract

The terms data and information refer to core concepts in the domain of information technology. They are central and widely used terms in any conversation about the evolving information society. Colloquially, these words are used in a variety of different situations without much concern for the precise meaning that is communicated by these terms. Some uses of these terms assume that they are synonyms, while other uses consider that these two terms have different meanings, but fail to identify the key differences between them. Even in the scientific community, the precise semantics that is carried by these terms is not agreed upon [3].
