For me,

Data        = recorded mesurements
Information = abstraced sense of data

A datum is the resprestation of a single mesurement.  A series of data
can be statistically analyzed, and descriptive summaries and evaluation
of differences and relations made without any concern of what the codes
represent (except for their scale).

Unless one is a pure statistician '-) information is inferred, or
deduced, from the relation of data to measurement, and measurement to
phenomena.

OK, so I was trained in Social Psychology and Measurement.  Can I help
that :-)
