What is Data?

Data is basically a collection and facts for reference or analysis of a particular thing. It is usually used to analyze, calculate or plan something. It is stored and produced by a computer. Data is raw facts and figures are processed into information. Data, which is also called as datum in Latin, which means “something given”. Data is the word, that may be new to starters, but it is very simple and engrossing to understand. It could be anything like a particular name of a person or something or a place or a number. In simple words, Data are basic facts. The main examples of data are weights, charges, costs, numbers of items sold, employee names, product names, addresses, tax codes etc. Any raw material that can be processed by any computing machine is data. It represents numbers and words in computer language. But data is not enough for us. They are useless until they are explained and refined it’s accurate information, they become useful and named as Informatics.


Let me give you some examples :-
An example of data is 
1)The number of students present in the class
2) The average temperature according to weather reports 
3) Bank Account Number

In today’s world we require data for everything because we all work on technologies, and it’s improving day by day. It is generated in and from mobile phone, devices and systems. From studying to working, data is essential.

Now, what exactly is Informatics?
In short, Informatics is data that has been prepared in such a way that it becomes relevant to the person who receives it. It is a kind of communication. Informatics is the analysis of the behavior and formation of any system that originates, reserves, operates and then presents information. It is the study of computational systems. There is still no universal meaning for Informatics. The different organizations and educational institutions has their own definition, but all these different meaning portrays the same core that is about the learning and application of information in daily procedures. This powerful subject on the human utilization of evaluating helps people to interrelate with technology in the best and most efficient way possible. Informatics is the science of how to use data, information and knowledge to upgrade human health and the distribution of health care services. 


Examples of Informatics 
In Informatics, there are few things necessary that is Basic Computer Proficiency, Information Literacy and Information Management.

  •  Computer Proficiency skills are mastery and capability which allow us to use computers and other technologies easily. Generally, basic computer skills include Word Processing, creating presentations and Managing Computer Files. In advance Computer skill, it includes managing databases and running calculations in spreadsheets.
  • Information Literacy is the ability to observe, assess, assemble, utilize and communicate information in all formats required in decision-making, solving problems and to acquire knowledge.
  • Information Management is a cycle of Organizational Activity, to acquire information from more than one source and to distribute it to the one’s who need it. It includes activities like embracing generic concepts of management, including organizing, structuring, planning, controlling, reporting all the activities related to Information.

At last, it is concluded that Informatics is more beneficial and useful for collecting Information than data. The most known and popular search engine Google is a good example of portraying Informatics. There we can get every useful information in a detail and compact formats. From school to office works, we can utilize it in a good way.
