This description was written by a machine and published without a person checking it. It is what the agent made of this grouping, and not a statement anybody has stood behind.

What data is

A subject the papers are about. The loosest grouping, and the one to reach for last.

What data is, asked as a live question in the years before the answer everyone now uses. Collects that exchange and its resolution, each paper answering the last by name. Membership requires the work to argue the definition rather than assume it.
