Secondary data are data that were collected for another purpose and already exist. Primary data, on the other hand, are data collected for the first time specifically for a research project. Tertiary data refer to data that have been compiled from primary and/or secondary sources for a specific industry or field. "Inordinate data" and "ordinate data" are not commonly used terms in the field of data collection and analysis.
