Technically, Ludovic, a data object means any single and
self-contained stream of bytes (which can be a file, a data output
from a relational or other database or even a transmitted string of
text over the internet) which contains *only* the data upon which
operations might be carried out and which does *not* contain the
operations which may be carried out upon the data.

In short, it is a "piece of information" kept as a single unit.
