Data is raw, unorganized facts that need to be processed. Data can be something simple and seemingly random and useless until it is organized. When data is processed, organized, structured or presented in a given context so as to make it useful, it is called Information. – (Merriam-Webster’s Online Definition)
Data is a strange element. Some researchers think that matter consists from data. That is a humongous claim and difficult to prove. However, information does consist from data, according to the information theory. Information theory, however, does not consider message importance or meaning, as these are matters of the quality of data
Then again, information is not knowledge. According to Ray Kurzweil, intelligence selectively destroys information to create knowledge (The Singularity is Near, 2005).
In the simplest everyday terms, "information" suggests a practical chunk of reified experience, a unit of sense lodged on the hierarchy of knowledge somewhere between data and report. - Erik Davis
