It is called type or datatype. Data is a value of some type associated
with some problem space meaning, like employee's age is 38.
Ada does not force you, it rather offers richer than other languages
means to define types more suitable to annotate and handle data. You
still can be a real C programmer in Ada by using Integer or
Integer_Address for just everything.
Happy New Year!
