DIKW pyramid
Relationship between data, information, knowledge, and wisdom.
- Snippet from Wikipedia: DIKW pyramid
The DIKW pyramid, also known variously as the DIKW hierarchy, wisdom hierarchy, knowledge hierarchy, information hierarchy, information pyramid, and the data pyramid, refers to a class of models representing purported structural or functional relationships between data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. It claims that deep understanding of a subject emerges through four qualitative stages: data, information, knowledge, and wisdom
Not all versions of the DIKW model reference all four components (earlier versions not including data, later versions omitting or downplaying wisdom) and some include additional components. In addition to a hierarchy and a pyramid, the DIKW model has also been characterized as a chain, framework, and continuum.
