Science is mere info/data?

Is it correct to say that science is mere data about nature?
From wikipedia.org:
Science is both a process of gaining knowledge, and the organized body of knowledge gained by this process. The scientific process is the systematic acquisition of new knowledge about a system. This systematic acquisition is generally the scientific method, and the system is generally nature. Science is also the scientific knowledge that has been systematically acquired by this scientific process

To make it relevant to human beings, we term that as philosophy?
Philosophy is now widely used to designate the pursuit of knowledge or wisdom about fundamental matters concerning life, death, meaning, reality, being and truth.

So science in itself is meaningless unless we philosophize?
