description: Vocabulary, language and data are a simultaneous or concurrent phenomenon with a historical reference and characterized by the value of indispensability. Functionally interwoven in time and place they find meaningful expression within society as it fulfills its mission on one hand and conveniently curving space in a global village where simultaneously it inputs and derives value to guarantee existence with integrity; safeguard against marginalization and risks in this digital phase. Highest form of expression of vocabulary, language and data constitute culture and history of society while the opposite is true signifying death or alternatively a literally disabled, marginalized people without institutional representation. Language, vocabulary and data have a generational dimension characterizing them as they transition from one phase to another more precisely from traditional society; colonial society; post-colonial society; lastly transformation-digital society influenced by scientific and technological development. Major questions arise regarding data storage, who collects and keeps it; data sources, classes and collection levels and methods; data classification or declassification; partnership in data institution development; data sharing; data storage technologies; development planning data; data collection and Smart Cities; data quality and management through phases; what do we loose or gain moving from this phase to the next? Alternatively, what is the LOSS- GAIN balance on each phase, the previous and forthcoming? Equally is the pathway deserved by all or an alternative is inevitable? Vocabulary, language and data play a complimentary role in these processes consistent with the level of cultural development and data management culture too. Depth and level of development of vocabulary determine data quality and its utility level, more precisely the way it uplifts the citizen and society on one hand or alternatively the way it condemns the same to ranks of dejection when the world is visibly advancing digitally vibrant in all circles of human life.AcknowledgementsRecognition is owed ARDC Hosts; Midlands State University, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Department of Development Studies new generation courses and programs.
