Generally speaking (although you probably know this), you can access data to edit/change them, without necessarily seeing them in detail (e.g. bulk data). You can also have data "displayed" on a screen/display. The most basic (and in your case generally suitable) of these functions is "load", since this is what happens in all cases.
