| Data is the lowest level of abstraction. | Information is one level higher abstraction than data. |
| Data refers to raw facts, figures, or values that are collected and stored without any specific context or interpretation. It is unprocessed and lacks meaning on its own. | Information is processed, organized, and meaningful data that has been analyzed, interpreted, and structured to provide context, relevance, and value. It is derived from data through analysis and is used to make decisions or gain insights. |
| For example, marks such as 67, 88, 90 and 77 are considered data. | For example, when these marks are related to a boy named Rohit, a student of class IX who has scored 67 in English, 88 in Maths, 90 in Physics and 77 in Chemistry then it becomes information. |
