Ordinal data is data that can be ranked, but you can not say anything about how far apart the data entries are. You can count and order it but not measure difference between data entries.
For example if we talk about teams, one can be first, the next second etc, but that tells us nothing about how far ahead team 1 is.
In many surveys they use agree or disagree and you rank your answer from 1 to 5.

How do you convert ordered data to nominal data?
I think you mean ordinal data. Similar to the golf tournament, you need to determine where to "cut" (from the ordinal data) so as to divide the data into different categories (to the nominal data). For example, if the ordinal data range from 1 to 6 (where 1 = the best) and the cut is 3, then you convert all the numbers from 1 to 3 to "1" (which represents "good") and the all numbers from 4 to 6 to "2" (which represents "bad"). In other words, 1, 2, and 3 from the original ordinal data set are converted to "1" (ordinal data); whereas 4, 5, and 6 from the original date set now become "2" (ordinal data). Eddie T.C. Lam

What is the measure of central tendency for nominal and ordinal data?
The mode can be used with both kinds of data. The median may be used with ordinal data but great care is required if the median falls between two classes of observations.The mode can be used with both kinds of data.

Is occupation nominal or ordinal or interval?
Occupation is nominal data. There is not an order to the category occupation, so that eliminates ordinal and interval.
Which measure of central tendency cannot be applied to ordinal data?
The mean cannot be used with ordinal data. The best measure of central tendency for ordinal data is usually the median. A common example of ordinal data is the scale you see in many surveys. 1=Strongly disagree; 2=Disagree; 3=Neutral; 4=Agree; 5=Strongly agree. The mean would have not meaning here ( no pun intended) The median is simple the middle value. The mode does have meaning.
