Internet Glossary
Raw
Unprocessed. The term refers to data that is passed along to an I/O device without being interpreted. In contrast, cooked refers to data that is processed before being passed to the I/O device.
The term comes from UNIX, which supports cooked and raw modes for data output to a terminal. In cooked mode, special characters, such as erase and kill are processed by the device driver before being sent the output device.


Steve's Digicams Digital Camera Dictionary
RAW
RAW files basically hand the raw unprocessed data - at 12 bits per channel - from the camera’s imaging chip to your computer. Lossless compression is applied to reduce filesize slightly without compromising any quality.
