Editor's Notes
- The poet T.S. Eliot was the first to mention the "DIKW hierarchy" without even calling it by that name. In 1934 Eliot wrote in "The Rock"[5]: Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? http://www-personal.si.umich.edu/~nsharma/dikw_origin.htm Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs – on its side DIKW (See Wikipedia) Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom One variation DIKS: Data-Information-Knowledge-Strategy Data Facts, measurements is analyzed and/or connected to provide Information Facts, intelligence when acted upon becomes Knowledge A range of contextual information and experiences when reflected upon or analyzed becomes Wisdom Enables smart decisions Explicit KM DIKW are codified: recorded in text, audio, video, computer file or another capture method and systematically arranged When knowledge and wisdom are codified they become information Tacit KM DIKW are implicit – assumed, understood; internal – experiential, personal A person can combine new data with past training to internally generate knowledge People-to-people interactions, such as sharing, learning, and mentoring
