Information - CORRECT ANSWER - Processed data.
,DIKW Hierarchy - CORRECT ANSWER - Defines the transition of data to
information to knowledge to wisdom. (Data Information Knowledge Wisdom)
Data in DIKW - CORRECT ANSWER - The input directly received by the
user (or computer). It is generally not usable until it has been converted into a
relevant form.
Information in DIKW - CORRECT ANSWER - 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 - CORRECT ANSWER - 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 - CORRECT ANSWER - Provides a social setting to
knowledge; an understanding of the "why". Can only come by having both
knowledge and experience.
Information Systems - CORRECT ANSWER - A collection of data and
information used to support the management of an organization. Also refers to
the technical components and human resources that enable the assembly,
storage, and processing of data and the delivery of information. This has existed
for a lot longer than computers.
Characteristics of Quality Data - CORRECT ANSWER - 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 - CORRECT ANSWER - The Input-Procession-Output-Storage Cycle
Input - CORRECT ANSWER - Raw data is entered by the user.
Processing - CORRECT ANSWER - Raw data is organized or structured for
usefulness.
Output - CORRECT ANSWER - Information is output so user can see results.
Storage - CORRECT ANSWER - Processed information is stored for
permanent record.
Computer System - CORRECT ANSWER - A collection of components that
work together to meet the needs of the user; typically categorized as either
hardware, software, networks, or users.
Hardware - CORRECT ANSWER - Physical components of a computer
system which include the system unit and its components and peripheral
devices; tangible aspects of the computer.
Software - CORRECT ANSWER - Computer programs that tell the computer
