8 Types of Data
Great summary produced by Bob Hayes, PhD, breaking down data sets in 8 categories:
- Internal versus external
- Structured versus unstructured
- Machine generated versus human generated
Below is the picture (originally published here).
I would add a few more levels:
- Static versus dynamic
- Raw versus pre-processed
- Transactional or not
- Sensor data or not

- individual vs. networked
