Models, Metaphors and Symbols for Information and Knowledge Systems
79 Models, Metaphors and Symbols for Information and Knowledge Systems David Williams Abstract A literature search indicates that Data, Information and Knowledge continue to be placed into a hierarchical construct where it is considered that information is more valuable than data and that information can be processed into becoming precious knowledge. Wisdom continues to be added to the model to further confuse the issue. This model constrains our ability to think more logically about how and why we develop knowledge management systems to support and enhance knowledge- intensive processes, tasks or projects. This paper seeks to summarise development of the Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom hierarchy, explore the extensive criticism of it and present a more logical (and accurate) construct for the elements of intellectual capital when developing and managing Knowledge Management Systems. Keywords: DIKW, knowledge management, intellectual capital, organizational learning, systems, data, information, knowledge, wisdom, truth, records, evidence, belief. Introduction Whenever we build systems or develop architecture or a framework for developing systems, it is critical to have a shared understanding of the style, design elements and building blocks that we are working with. Having a simple model of the relationships between data, information and knowledge is important to be able to promote a shared understanding of how the components of a knowledge management system connect and contribute to achieving the desired business outcome. The construct of the Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom (DIKW) as a hierarchy is not a preferred model to underpin the design, build and operation of knowledge management systems and may lead to poor design. The presumption that if you process enough data, a system will deliver information and then knowledge is challenged by many critics of the DIKW hierarchy model. -

However, during the past few years we have seen a growing interest in treating knowledge as a significant organizational resource for innovation. This trend coincides with the rapid development of ICT, indicating the strong influence that ICTs have on the processes of creating, disseminating, and using knowledge. At present, issues of innovation management and knowledge management are studied independently, which creates a certain gap in the systemic understanding of the innovation development processes. The paper proposes an integrated approach to the issues mentioned. The hierarchy and taxonomy of knowledge are considered from the point of view of their influence on decision-making at different stages of the innovation lifecycle. Our proposition complements and contributes to several recent models of decision-making developed in the frame of the innovation process. Keywords: Innovation system; knowledge typology; decision-making; innovation lifecycle 1. -

Philosophical foundations of the Death and Anti-Death discussion (Forthcoming in Vol. 15, Death And Anti-Death set of anthologies by Ria Press) Jeremy Horne Perhaps there has been no greater opportunity than in this “VOLUME FIFTEEN of our Death And Anti-Death set of anthologies” to write about how might think about life and how to avoid death. There are two reasons to discuss “life”, the first being enhancing our understanding of who we are and why we may be here in the Universe. The second is more practical: how humans meet the physical challenges brought about by the way they have interacted with their environment. Many persons discussing “life” beg the question about what “life” is. Surely, when one discusses how to overcome its opposite, death, they are not referring to another “living” thing such as a plant. There seems to be a commonality, though, and it is this commonality is one needing elaboration. It ostensibly seems to be the boundary condition separating what is completely passive (inert) from what attempts to maintain its integrity, as well as fulfilling other conditions we think “life” has. In our present discussion, there will be a reminder that it by no means has been unequivocally established what life really is by placing quotes around the word, namely, “life”. Consider it a tag representing a bundle of philosophical ideas that will be unpacked in this paper. Each of us in our isolated way since humans have been able to think for themselves has known in advance that their individual existences are limited. -

By SAGE Publications Ltd.. All rights reserved. © CILIP. For more information please visit: http://jis.sagepub.co.uk Martin Frické School of Information Resources and Library Science, The University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, AZ 85718, USA Abstract The paper evaluates the Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom (DIKW) Hierarchy. This hierarchy is part of the canon of information science and management. The paper considers whether the hierarchy, also known as the ‘Knowledge Hierarchy’, is a useful and intellectually desirable construct to introduce, whether the views expressed about DIKW are true and have evidence in favour of them, and whether there are good reasons offered or sound assumptions made about DIKW. Arguments are offered that the hierarchy is unsound and methodologically undesirable. The paper identifies a central logical error that DIKW makes. The paper identifies the dated and unsatisfactory philosophical positions of operationalism and inductivism as the philosophical backdrop to the hierarchy. The paper concludes with a sketch of some positive theories, of value to information science, on the nature of the components of the hierarchy: that data is anything recordable in a semantically and pragmatically sound way, that information is what is known in other literature as ‘weak knowledge’, that knowledge also is ‘weak knowledge’ and that wisdom is the possession and use, if required, of wide practical knowledge, by an agent who appreciates the fallible nature of that knowledge. -
Rethinking the Internet of Things
® BOOKS FOR PROFESSIONALS BY PROFESSIONALS daCosta Rethinking the Internet of Things Over the next decade, most devices connected to the Internet will not be used by people in the familiar way that personal computers, tablets and smart phones are. Billions of interconnected devices will be monitoring the environment, transportation systems, factories, farms, forests, utilities, soil and weather conditions, oceans and resources. Many of these sensors and actuators will be networked into autonomous sets, with much of the information being exchanged machine-to-machine directly and without human involvement. Machine-to-machine communications are typically terse. Most sensors and actuators will report or act upon small pieces of information - “chirps”. Burdening these devices with current network protocol stacks is inefficient, unnecessary and unduly increases their cost of ownership. This must change. The architecture of the Internet of Things must evolve now by incorporating simpler protocols at the edges of the network, or remain forever inefficient. Rethinking the Internet of Things describes reasons why we must rethink current approaches to the Internet of Things. Appropriate architectures that will coexist with existing networking protocols are described in detail. An architecture comprised of integrator functions, propagator nodes, and end devices, along with their interactions, is explored. This book: • Discusses the difference between the “normal” Internet and the Internet of Things • Describes a new architecture and its components in the “chirp” context • Explains the shortcomings of IP for the Internet of Things • Describes the anatomy of the Internet of Things • Describes how to build a suitable network to maximize the amazing potential of the Internet of Things ISBN 978-1-4302-5740-0 53999 Shelve in Internet/General User level: Beginning–Advanced 9 781430 257400 For your convenience Apress has placed some of the front matter material after the index. -
123 the Cybercultural Scene in Contemporary
The Cybercultural Scene in Contemporary Journalism: Semantic Web, Algorithms, Applications and Curation Elizabeth Saad Corrêa 1 Daniela Bertocchi 2 Abstract This paper discusses the different cybercultural aspects within contemporary journalism experiences, mainly from the emergence of the Semantic Web and the technical functionalities that result from it, such as the use of algorithms and applications. We explain the basic concepts of this technical set and it’s correlation to the Communication and Journalism fields particularly. The possibilities of approximation of this scene within journalistic activity are presented due to examples which are already in application with international journalistic markers. We come up with a configuration of the curation role for the professional that will act within this new cybercultural context. Keywords : Cyberculture, Digital Journalism, Semantic Web, Algorithms, Curation Introduction We aim to think communication happens when machines also communicate, especially in the journalistic information context. This concern rises as a result of the recent and increasingly present debates about the development of the Semantic Web (SW), one of Tim Berners-Lee (Bourenane, Szoniecky, &Saleh, 2009) most well-known predictions which now begins to reach it’s stage of consolidation (Adolphs, Cheng, Klüwer,Uszkoreit, & Xu, 2010). From the SW, we are also interested in discussing the debates about the use of Algorithms and Applications (apps) in the journalistic process, exploration which discloses an irreversible trend in the main highlighted essays of the web as (Rabaino, 2011 and Carr, 2011). The SW, apps, algorithms, databases, among other things, are contemporary cybercultural manifestations and change the ways of sociability, therefore, we are faced with another discussion and reflection field, not to say pressing changes. -
