Dear Vaughn.

I am not so sure that your understanding of these four "modes" is the only correct one. And I don't think that it differs that much from other KM practitioners' understanding.

These four "steps" or whatever, are simply four different levels of complexity concerning information. Raw data (like 24, 365 etc.) are fundamental facts, figures and measurements. Information, which you call processed data, are things like reports and applied measurements. based on this information we can obtain knowledge, as an understanding, or model, about people, objects or events, derived from the information. Similarly, we can attain wisdom, and meaning, from knowledge, as the ability to use knowledge for a purpose.

We do not apply these steps consciously, but they merely describe how we think.

I'm not sure if this sounds prudent to you, I would like to hear any supplementary comments.

regards
Joerund
