Extract
The information used by scientists belongs to three basic types: (1) data, (2) procedures (techniques or description of instruments) and (3) theories and ideas. In what follows we shall consider only the first type of information, namely data. We will call ‘data’ all information related to or derived from observable quantities, like radial velocities, spectral types, color indices, etc.
