Accurate and (in)correct data

[NE3M]

Hi Guys,

My googling skills are letting me down and I need some expert info.

What do you call it when you have corrupted vs. incorrect (bad) data?

Do I just call it corrupted data when the data has no more integrity and bad or incorrect data when incorrect data was captured?

Thanks!

Corrupted data is data that cannot be read properly. Bad data is data that has been incorrectly captured.
