No, data must have meaning, else it is meaningless.

If you want to process the data you must use some language to access parts of the data. Data must have a symbolic representation, not juts be 1s and zeros. Or it can be a bit-stream, but even then you need a language that knows the different between 1 and 0.

person.name

extracts the field 'name' from the data. To manipulate the data, the program must know that there is such a field as 'name' it can ask for.
