What will be an ideal response?


Data consists of raw facts, such as employee number or total hours worked in a week, an inventory part number, or the number of units produced on a production line.Information is a collection of facts organized and processed so that they have additional value beyond the value of individual facts. For example, a sales manager may want individual sales data summarized to see the total sales for the month. Providing information to customers can also help companies increase revenues and profits.Knowledge is the awareness and understanding of a set of information and the ways that information can be made useful to support a specific task or reach a decision. Having knowledge means understanding relationships in information.
