Information Retrieval - What is difference between data retrieval and information retrieval?

Answer

The key difference between Information Retrieval and Data Retrieval is that Data Retrieval (a database management system or DBMS) works with structured data with well-defined semantics, while Information Retrieval handles unstructured or semi-structured data.
