Data is used as input for the computer system. Information is the output of data.
Data is unprocessed facts figures. Information is processed data.
Data doesnโt depend on Information. Information depends on data.
Data is not specific. Information is specific.
Data can be any character, text, words, number, pictures, sound, or video and if not put into context means nothing to a human or computer. However, information is useful and can be understood by the human. Below is an example of the same data and information and how they differ.
**Example of Data**
Joe,Smith, 1234 Circle,SLC,UT,8404,8015553211
**Example of Information**
Joe Smith
1234 Circle
Salt Lake City, UT 84084
(801)555-3211
As can be seen in the above example, looking at just the data you may be able to understand some of the text on the line, but it isn't really useful. That same information, when broken out into readable text and slightly formatted becomes much more useful and allows you to identify it is contact information for Joe Smith.

Dear friend
The term data refers to factual information, especially that used for analysis and based on reasoning or calculation. Data itself has no meaning, but becomes information when it is interpreted. Information is a collection of facts or data that is communicated.
Dear Uma Ji ,
As far as your query is concerned with what is the difference between data and information .
Let me informed Uma Ji , Simply : -
[1] Data is a raw fact.
[2] it is processed , so that they are meaningful to the users.
[3] user get information easily by processing this data .
means in easy world data means a raw fact and information means processing of raw fact that they are meaningful to the users.
thanks
with Best Regards

In Latin โdatumโ means โthat which is givenโ.
Information is interpreted data.
Data is raw, unorganized facts that need to
be processed. Data can be something simple
and seemingly random and useless until it is
organized
