This is essentially just series of linked definitions. ![[Untitled-2024-01-28-1612 1.png]] **Data** are the simple ones and zeros. They contain facts, but don't mean anything in and of themselves. **Information** is what you glean from data consumed in context and organized. **Knowledge** is what you can glean from the information available to you. Knowledge happens inside the _brain_, whereas data & info can exist externally. **Wisdom** is the correct application/response to the knowledge gained. # Example ## Data | Day | Wake Up Time | | :--: | :--:| | Mon | 6:30 | | Tue | 6:42 | | Wed | 6:31 | | Thur | 6:30 | | Fri | 6:40 | | Sat | 8:15 | | Sun | 8:42 | ## Info I sleep in an hour and a half later on the weekends than I do the weekdays. ## Knowledge ![[Pasted image 20240128203459.png]] ## Wisdom Perhaps this should say "I shouldn't stay up so late on Fri & Sat" ![[Pasted image 20240128203730.png]] # Grad School! This popped up just now in my grad school class. ```quote - Data – Raw facts and figures (e.g., a list of sales transactions). - Information – Processed data with meaning (e.g., total sales by region). - Knowledge – Insights from analyzing information (e.g., sales trends). - Wisdom – Strategic decision-making based on knowledge (e.g., when to expand stores). ``` **** ## Source - [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIKW_pyramid) ## Related - [[Data Types]]
