Information
Data once it has been processed (by a computer). Has some context. eg. 42 hats rather than 42.
2 of 15
Knowledge
Information once rules have been applied so it can be more useful and conclusions can be drawn.
3 of 15
GIGO
Garbage In Garbage Out - The theory that quality of data output is only as good as computer input as a computer can only process by the rules given and can't think.
4 of 15
Data storage
The storing of data after data entry, memory in a computer often in RAM form.
5 of 15
Range check
Checks that values given are within a given range, checks it is a reasonable value.
6 of 15
Format check
Checks that data is in the correct format such as by an input mask e.g. postcode is ZZ0 0ZZ

10 of 15
Validation
Checks to see if data inputted is reasonable and sensible but doesn't check it's accuracy.

Where the order of letters entered into a sytem are changed.
