A data system is a term used to refer to an organised collection of symbols [1]. Any organised collection of symbols can be considered a data system. Hence, human speech analysed at the level of phonemes can be considered a data system as can an image stored as pixels. A data system is defined in terms of some data model and bears a resemblance to the idea of a physical symbol system.
