DATA is primarily a lobby organization. They do research and then lobby at Congress and the White House and other places around the world. You can actually get internships there in DC if you're studying international law or international development studies (it was an option for a friend of mine).
ONE came later on and I've always assumed Bono is a founding member and DATA a founding organization. However, on their site, there is a huge list of participating organizations, so DATA is one of many. I don't think ONE is a lobby organization, per se. It's more of an awareness/social justice campaign. It's geared towards people like us who aren't actually lobbyist in Washington, but still matter when it comes to pushing these issues.
