Data as diaphora de re, that is, as lack of uniformity in the real world out there. There is no specific name for such ‘data in the wild’.

I wonder why Floridini doesn't consider data to be an interface between the known and the unknown.

For example, here the world is uniform; thus, there's no data there:
"Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep;"

Can we say that trust is based on an expectation of uniformity (no data) extended into the future?
"Most generally, trust can be considered the expectation held by each member of a society that the existing natural and moral social orders will persist. This is to say that members of society have an inherent trust or faith that ‘the sun will rise tomorrow’ and society will exist more or less as it did today (Barber, 1959)."
