Summary
Data consists of numbers, text, and metadata. The metadata describes the data's format and organization. Data is typically stored as tables in a database or spreadsheet. XML is useful for hierarchically structured data.
A spreadsheet uses tables, rows, and cells to edit and modify data. Similarly, a database presents data as tables of rows and columns. Changes to the table can become update and insert requests to the database. (cbb 3/07)
