Data in DIKW - CORRECT ANSWERS-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 ANSWERS-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 ANSWERS-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 ANSWERS-Provides a social setting to knowledge; an
understanding of the "why". Can only come by having both knowledge and experience.
Information Systems - CORRECT ANSWERS-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.
