What is data?
It’s information. It may be bicycle accidents. It may be crime figures. It may be the location of street lights or a leisure centre.
Pretty boring, yes?
On it’s own probably. But it starts to get really, really interesting when that information gets presented in an easily digestible way. Like on a map, say.
It gets even more interesting when several streams of information are put on the same map. It can make the world we live in look a different place.
