WHAT IS DATA INTERPRETATION?  

DATA INTERPRETATION DEFINITION 

Data interpretation is the process of studying data to help allocate some meaning of the collected data and try to find a pertinent conclusion.  Data interpretation is usually performed through predefined processes.   


Data interpretation usually follows the following process:
Data is collected in raw form
Raw data is cleaned up and sorted
Data is analyzed and information is derived from the data 
That information is used against hypothesizes and knowledge is derived
The data is used to tell a story which makes it easier to digest the information and knowledge Data Interpretation Process

Depending on who is performing the data interpretation, different hypothesizes can be used, and thus different knowledge can be derived.  Ultimately, data interpretation comes down to who is interpreting the data and what they are trying to find in the data.
