Usage notes

• The worddatais more often used as anuncountablenoun with a singular verb than as a plural noun with singulardatum.Usage as a plural noun with a plural verb is more common in certainformalcontexts (but not others): it is an unusual exception incomputer scienceanddata sciencebut is still often maintained in themedical literature.
• IngeodeticandGD&Tcontexts, the worddatais used exclusively in itsuncountablesenses, whereas the singulardatum(referring to a reference point or surface) has the pluraldatums,notdata.
• The definition ofdatain the computing context is from aninternational standard vocabularyand is meant to distinguishdatafrominformation.However, this distinction is often ignored by the computing profession.

Swedish

Etymology

Borrowed fromLatindata,from the plural ofdatum(“that which is given, information, facts at hand, a date in the calendar”).

The sense” computer” is aclippingofdatamaskin.

Noun

datac

1. (uncountable)information, especially encoded information that can be processed by computers
2. (colloquial,proscribed)Alternative form ofdator(“computer”)

   Det är fel pådatan.―Something's wrong withthe computer.

   • 1966,Olof Johannesson (pen name ofHannes Alfvén),Sagan om den stora datamaskinen:

     De förstadatornavar ju också mycket enkla.

     The firstcomputerswere indeed very simple.

Usage notes

• The first definition is rarely inflected, but most often used in its basic form. In the definite form, both neuter (datat) and common gender (datan) forms are used. For the compoundindata,Google yields 440,000 hits, but only 2110 forindatanand 1200 forindatat.The Latin singulardatumis not used in this sense, because it is already used for” date (in the calendar)”.
• Swedish lacked a good and short word for computer untildatorwas proposed in 1967. The colloquialdatawas used in the 1960s and is still used colloquially today, but is usually proscribed. The formdatoris also the plural ofdata,and the plural definite formsdatorerna/datornaare very similar.
