Uhmmm, everything.

Software can churn away but without the correct data in the correct
syntactic format along with discoverable semantics[1]  for human and
machine processing, you will get wrong or at the very best uncertain
information output. Data that represents information is the reason we
have software for processing.


[1] different people in different contexts have different ideas about
what data may mean
