great question! when data is used as an "entity" as in your example, then "data is" even though grammatically it "should" be "datum is"....
great/funny article here; http://www.johntcullen.com/sharpwriter/content/data_is.htm
there are several words like that...
datum/data
bacterium/bacteria
medium/media
opus/opera

overread vs over-read vs over read
Subject: overread vs over-read vs over read
OneLook has a disclaimer for the definition of the word overread that says: This definition is from the 1913 Webster's Dictionary and may be outdated. Some of the links listed on OneLook give the definition, some say the word does not exist, another gives the definition and then says (not used). There are references online for over-read, overread, and over read. I think over-read with a hyphen is a nice compromise. It's situations like this that make me dazed and confused!

s/l DATA
Subject: s/l DATA
Doc says..also brings with her numerous labs including labs showing borderline....s/l DATA... levels.
She kind of stumbles over this and I could not find anything on DATA or data levels so I was going to flag it. She then goes on to say....She tried oral...s/l DATA without success.
It is pretty clear the second time but I cannot find anything on this. Is this correct and would it be all CAPS?
Thanks.
