Relationship between data, information and knowledge.
Explanation of Solution
Data can be in the form of numbers, pictures, and words. We cannot get exact information out of the data. Data is unprocessed, unorganized and can be in any random format but when that data is processed and organized it gives information when some context or meaningful words are added to the data, they form the related information. You can say data is integrated and organized so that it is used by people in the form of information. On the other hand, knowledge is something we gain after processing the valuable information.
To make it clearer, let us take an example of a match. Suppose we have data as 68 and 70. We cannot get anything out of these numeric values. Now by adding some context with these numeric values such as Team 1-68 and Team 2-70, we get information that Team 1 has scored 68 and Team 2 has scored 70. Now from this information we can do comparison to gain knowledge that Team 2 has scored more and thus must have won the match.
