A survey is a collection of Questions. A question can be part of multiple surveys. To keep things simple, we will assume all questions are of Free Text.
A user should also be able to add data for surveys and questions.
In Salesforce.com, data is stored in objects and presented to the user via Page Layouts. Please see the help documentation link attached to understand more about objects and page layouts in Salesforce.com
