A collection of data about a specific topic is generally referred to as a dataset. A dataset is an organized set of data that usually comes in table form where each column represents a specific variable, and each row corresponds to a given record of the dataset. The topic can be anything from information about a group of people's demographics, financial records, medical studies, to even data about astronomical observations. The critical point about a dataset is that it is organized in such a way that it can be easily accessed, managed, interpreted, and analyzed.
