You need to run the script called subject in a slightly different way such that it executes in the same shell as the script called data. It needs to be run as . ./subject (dot-space-dot-slash-scriptname).

Code:
#!/bin/bash

export NAME
export ID
export ADDRESS
. ./subject
echo "Name: $NAME"
echo "ID: $ID"
echo "Address: $ADDRESS"

This is the same way that your login profile works.
Btw. Calling a script data is very confusing and has made your earlier posts ambiguous.
