I know I have written about the data-information-knowledge hierarchy in the past. Many people still use it as a metaphor, but now it seems that it has outlived its usefulness. I came across DIKW again, so I thought I would say a little something.
Chris Grams writes "Three tips for escaping the creativity peloton without giving up on collaboration" and Robert Scoble gives us "Coming soon: the disruptive molecular age of information." Both contain interesting metaphors.
When we talk of D-I-K, the Ice-Water-Steam analogy may be useful. Thanks to the Act-KM mailing list.
Paolina Martin provides an interesting history lesson in "wisdom," making a connection to emotional intelligence that I hadn't considered previously.
One of my readers, Andrew Mitchell, was inspired by my "Making sense of D-I-K-W" that he has come up with his own model for the data-information-knowledge component.
In the knowledge management world, a common starting point is discussion of "hierarchy" of data-information-knowledge. But this model is severely limited. David Snowden has discovered another way to look at this, and I take a stab at drawing it another way.
At today's open house for Dominican's Center for Knowledge Management, Christina Stoll described a new analogy for knowledge management: a jigsaw puzzle.

Reference: Joining Dots has a good entry on the familiar question of "what is knowledge." JD has adds "cleverness" to the mixture of data, information, knowledge and wisdom.
Review of an article on noetic prisms by Diarmuid Pigott and Valerie Hobbs with a particular connection to the data-information-knowledge-wisdom hierarchy.
Dave Pollard lays out a process of how we learn in "How we learn and Why we don't." This - particularly Dave's graphic - reminds me of something I read earlier that had to do with how the knowledge-information-data cycle works within our brains.
