  • "information is the result of processing, manipulating and organizing data in a way that adds to the knowledge of the person receiving it." "Even though information and data are often used interchangeably, they are actually very different. Data is a set of unrelated information, and as such is of no use until it is properly evaluated. Upon evaluation, once there is some significant relation between data, and they show some relevance, then they are converted into information. Now this same data can be used for different purposes. Thus, till the data convey some information, they are not useful." Source and further *information*: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information

Data themselves are fairly useless. But when these data are interpreted and processed to determine its true meaning, they becomes useful and can be called Information.
