Data

Data entry is the process of digitizing data by entering it into a computer system for organization and management purposes. It is a person-based process and is "one of the important basic" tasks needed when no machine-readable version of the information is readily available for planned computer-based analysis or processing. Sometimes, data entry can involve working with or creating "information about information [whose value] can be greater than the value of the information itself." It can also involve filling in required information which is then "data-entered" from what was written on the research document, such as the growth in available items in a category.: 68  This is a higher level of abstraction than metadata, "information about data".
