- 1692, William Molyneux; Edmund Halley, Dioptrica nova[1], London: Benj. Tooke, page 100:

- The raw information was processed and placed into a database so the data could be accessed more quickly.
- 1992, Rudolf M[athias] Schuster, The Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of North America: East of the Hundredth Meridian, volume V, New York, N.Y.: Columbia University Press, →ISBN, page vii:
- With fresh material, taxonomic conclusions are leavened by recognition that the material examined reflects the site it occupied; a herbarium packet gives one only a small fraction of the data desirable for sound conclusions. Herbarium material does not, indeed, allow one to extrapolate safely: what you see is what you get […]
- 2013 June 22, “Snakes and ladders”, in The Economist, volume 407, number 8841, page 76:
- Risk is everywhere. […] For each one there is a frighteningly precise measurement of just how likely it is to jump from the shadows and get you. “The Norm Chronicles” […] aims to help data-phobes find their way through this blizzard of risks.

Usage notesEdit
- This word is more often used as an uncountable noun with a singular verb than as a plural noun with singular datum. Usage as a plural noun with a plural verb is far more common in formal contexts.
- In geodetic contexts, the word is used exclusively as an uncountable with the singular datum having the plural datums to replace it.
- The definition of data in the computing context is from an international standard vocabulary and is meant to distinguish data from information. However, this distinction is largely ignored by the computing profession.[2]

Usage notesEdit
Though some speakers use data "information" as a new singular rather than as the plural of datum (“data point”), this is generally prescribed against.[5][6][7] This is analogous to media in Dutch, which some speakers treat as a new singular rather than as a plural of medium.

SwedishEdit
EtymologyEdit
Borrowed from Latin data, from the plural of datum (“that which is given, information, facts at hand, a date in the calendar”).
The sense ”computer” is a clipping of datamaskin.
NounEdit
data c
- (uncountable) information, especially encoded information that can be processed by computers
- (colloquial, proscribed) Alternative form of dator (“computer”)
- Det är fel på datan. ― Something's wrong with the computer.
- 1966, Olof Johannesson (pen name of Hannes Alfvén), Sagan om den stora datamaskinen:
- De första datorna var ju också mycket enkla.
- The first computers were indeed very simple.
Usage notesEdit
- The first definition is rarely inflected, but most often used in its basic form. In the definite form, both neuter (datat) and common gender (datan) forms are used. For the compound indata, Google yields 440,000 hits, but only 2110 for indatan and 1200 for indatat. The Latin singular datum is not used in this sense, because it is already used for ”date (in the calendar)”.
- Swedish lacked a good and short word for computer until dator was proposed in 1967. The colloquial data was used in the 1960s and is still used colloquially today, but is usually proscribed. The form dator is also the plural of data, and the plural definite forms datorerna/datorna are very similar.
