Hi all,

I speedily need a definition of data in the modern RM context ie I don't imagine any of us see "data" any more as "Information in numerical form that can be digitally transmitted or processed" (Webster).

Any suggestions?  My own definition preference is that it's "information in a digital format, possibly structured", though I'm willing to drop the "structured" bit as well to make sure all digital stuff is captured.
