Information in DIKW
Having been inferred from data; one or more processes have been
applied to the data to transform it into a more useful form.
Knowledge in DIKW
Information that has been put to use; information placed into a
context.
Refined information such that the user of the knowledge is able to
call forth only relevant portions of information when needed.
Wisdom in DIKW
Provides a social setting to knowledge; an understanding of the

, Information Systems
A collection of data and information used to support the

storage, and processing of data and the delivery of information.
This has existed for a lot longer than computers.
Network
A collection of computers and resources connected by various

,Characteristics of Quality Data
Relevance - the data being used must apply directly to the decision
being made
Timely - data must be efficient and must be provided in a timely
manner Thorough - the data must be complete
Accurate - data should be captured only once, where possible
and should be captured as close to the point of activity as
possible.
Reliable - data should reflect stable and consistent data
collection processes across collections points and over time
IPOS
The Input-Procession-Output-Storage Cycle
Input
Raw data is entered by the user.
Processing
Raw data is organized or structured for usefulness.
, Output
Information is output so user can see results.
Storage
Processed information is stored for permanent record.
Computer System
A collection of components that work together to meet the needs of
the
user; typically categorized as either hardware, software, networks, or
users.
Hardware
Physical components of a computer system which include the
system unit and its components and peripheral devices; tangible
aspects of the
computer.
Software
Computer programs that tell the computer what to do--how to
execute commands and process information
