Support IT Professionals - (ANSWER)Help desk and training.
Information - (ANSWER)Processed data.
DIKW Hierarchy - (ANSWER)Defines the transition of data to information from
knowledge to wisdom. (Data Information Knowledge Wisdom)
Data in DIKW - (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 - (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 - (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 - (ANSWER)Provides a social setting to knowledge; an
understanding of the "why". Can only come by having both knowledge and
experience.
Information Systems - (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
, 3
processing of data and the delivery of information. This has existed for a lot
longer than computers.
Characteristics of Quality Data - (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 - (ANSWER)The Input-Procession-Output-Storage Cycle
Input - (ANSWER)Raw data is entered by the user.
Processing - (ANSWER)Raw data is organized or structured for usefulness.
Output - (ANSWER)Information is output so user can see results.
, 4
Storage - (ANSWER)Processed information is stored for permanent record.
Computer System - (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 - (ANSWER)Physical components of a computer system which include
the system unit and its components and peripheral devices; tangible aspects of
the computer.
Software - (ANSWER)Computer programs that tell the computer what to do--how
to execute commands and process information
Network - (ANSWER)A collection of computers and resources connected by
various media so that they can communicate with each other.
User - (ANSWER)Those who use a computer.
Software Categories - (ANSWER)Systems Software and Applications Software
Evolution of Users - (ANSWER)First users were the engineers who built and
