What Is Data
Theory
- Data:
- Data is the plural, datum is the singular.
- Data is a set of unorganised facts or measurements.
- If we organise data, we can end up with information.
- From information we can extract or distill knowledge, but this is harder than you might think.
In this unit you will be assessed on your ability to turn data into knowledge, in the form of a graph.
