Support IT Professionals✔️✔️✔️ANS→Help desk and training.
Information✔️✔️✔️ANS→Processed data.
DIKW Hierarchy✔️✔️✔️ANS→Defines the transition of data to information
from knowledge to wisdom. (Data Information Knowledge Wisdom)
Data in DIKW✔️✔️✔️ANS→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✔️✔️✔️ANS→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✔️✔️✔️ANS→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✔️✔️✔️ANS→Provides a social setting to knowledge; an
understanding of the "why". Can only come by having both knowledge and
experience.
Information Systems✔️✔️✔️ANS→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

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

how to execute commands and process information
Network✔️✔️✔️ANS→A collection of computers and resources connected by
various media so that they can communicate with each other.
User✔️✔️✔️ANS→Those who use a computer.
Software Categories✔️✔️✔️ANS→Systems Software and Applications
Software
Evolution of Users✔️✔️✔️ANS→First users were the engineers who built and
programmed computers, then employees who had received specialized training
were users, and now today, anyone and everyone can be a user.
Protocol✔️✔️✔️ANS→Rules provided by which networks communicate with
