Evidence data is not classified as a 'data item' because it is intended to cover products derived from data such as figures, tables, and data sets.
Research data, or a product derived from research data such as data sets or figures, that are used as evidence to evaluate the validity of a target assertion or proposition.
Instances of this class can include elemental 'data items' such as experimental measurements or derived statistical calculations or scores (e.g. a 548.5 mg/dl blood glucose level, or a 1.3951e-24 p-value), data sets containing several such values and possibly metadata about them, or tables/figures that render such data for human consumption.
The notion of 'evidence data' is meant to be contrasted with the notion of an 'evidence statement', which is a statement used as evidence. (Statements here are logical sentences with truth value that are typically supported by interpretation of more fundamental data).
