Meaning and definition of information :
Information: Information is processed data. Data becomes information when it is summarized, tabulated, processed and checked for errors. It is easier to make sense out of information than of data. Thus the heights of students in a class may represent data. But if we can tabulate, summarize and categorize this data, it becomes information. For example, we can consolidate this data into a frequency table consisting of two columns. The first column can indicate the range of heights (150-160cm. etc.) while the second may indicate the number of students falling in the range. Alternatively, a histogram can be plotted that geographically depicts the frequency distribution. Information is something the human mind finds much easier to handle, than raw data. Information is less cluttered, better arranged and easier to grasp, than data. (See Data)
For the term information may also exist other definitions and meanings, the meaning and definition indicated above are indicative not be used for medical and legal or special purposes.
