Data is usually organized into structures such as tables that provide additional context and meaning, and which may themselves be used as data in larger structures. A datum is an individual value in a collection of data. In common usage data ( US: / ˈ d æ t ə/ UK: / ˈ d eɪ t ə/) is a collection of discrete or continuous values that convey information, describing the quantity, quality, fact, statistics, other basic units of meaning, or simply sequences of symbols that may be further interpreted formally.
These are some of the different types of data.
