What is textual presentation of data?

This is actually the presentation of the information that you have gathered. Therefore, you can present your findings in a variety of formats, such as in graphs, tables, as a summary and in tables, for example. As such, data is the basis by which you can textually present your discoveries rather than the thing that is textualized.

• What is data?

Data, which is the plural form of the word datum, is a reference to quantitative or qualitative attributes of a set of variables, or even just one variable. Typically, data is the result of some kind of measurement, and is used as the basis by which such findings are presented.

Data are usually seen as the lowest level by which information and subsequently, knowledge is come by.

• Unprocessed data

Unprocessed data, very often referred to as raw data, can be just a group of images, characters, numbers or other information that has not yet been processed, and therefore, that has not been textualized.

• Etymology of data

The word data comes from Latin, and means 'to give', from which we get 'something given'. When people talk about some aspects of particular subjects, such as math, geometry or engineering, the words data and given are used as often as each other and are completely interchangeable.

• Common usages for the word, data

In English, datum and data are still used as meaning that something has been given. In many instances, for example, cartography, nuclear magnetic resonance, geography and technical drawing, datum is commonly used to mean a single specific by which all other data is assessed and measured.

Although the two words mean different things from a grammatical perspective, it is becoming more common to hear the word data being used to describe both the singular and the plural.
