信息：
信息是可描述的，因为结构化、有组织和处理过的数据在上下文中赋予了它，这使得它对需要它的人具有相关性和帮助。数据表明，有关个人、地点或其他问题的原始事实和数字以数字、字母或符号类型表示。
信息是将知识改造并分类为可理解类型的知识，可以在决策方法中加以利用。简而言之，一旦知识在转换时最终成为有目的的，它就被称为信息。从本质上讲，它是一件事，它为特定问题提供了解决方案。它可以从许多来源获得，如报纸、互联网、电视、人物、书籍等。
数据：
数据是原始且无组织的事实，需要对其进行处理才能使其有意义。可以将其视为收集在一起的事实和统计数据，以供参考或分析。
数据是单独的信息单位。在分析过程中，数据由变量表示。数据总是由人或机器解释以得出意义。所以，数据毫无意义。数据包含原始形式的数字、语句和字符。
