Introducing a new type: content which is different from data. Content is typically licensed under a Creative Commons license, whereas data is understood as datasets, and typically uses other licenses.

Data: Information coded into a digital form that is efficient for movement or processing by computers.
Content: Information or knowledge that is easily understood directly by people in a relevant context.
