BSL Data Science Glossary - Information definition

Definition: With data itself, looking at it, it doesn't make much sense. It's very large and unstructured, in random places. So what we do is to change this data into some structure, like tables and charts, at which point it starts to make sense. That is information. Information can help us to make decisions and come up with plans or actions. So we're going from data that doesn't make sense to something that has meaning.
