In [[computer science]], '''data''' (treated as singular, plural, or as a [[mass noun]]) is any sequence of one or more [[symbol]]s; '''datum''' is a single symbol of data. Data requires [[Interpretation (logic)|interpretation]] to become [[information]]. ''[[Digital data]]'' is data that is represented using the [[binary number]] system of ones (1) and zeros (0), instead of [[analog signal|analog]] representation. In modern (post-1960) computer systems, all data is digital.
