Information is derived from structured data and people must have context in consuming knowledge from these two (Information+context=knowledge). Date and Time Stamps of the contextual agreements which formulate data into information. Otherwise certified data management professionals certification considers anything less simply raw data.
We can assume all persons seek knowledge
- Our current education system was designed to empower a student with knowledge.
- We aspire to change the dynamics to empower students to not only acquire knowledge, we want to teach students to learn.
- Forward thinking or assuming we use a system thinking approach we would also want to transform learning with students exhibiting wisdom by applying knowledge.
Dr Demming introduced these four types as the DIKW hierarchy in the dawn of the industrial revolution.
Communication of any type has changed in the 4th industrial revolution, in fact its in part removing our personal social interactions where we developed and used communication between ourselves and others in person far less than we have throughout history. Today, we may physically be in the same room with others and everyone has their device in hand.
Technology represents the means of implementation for all information and communication.
Cloud technology originated in the 1990's with videoconferencing connecting two physically dispersed locations and individuals communicating without the expense of travel.
The solution required 3 components as follows;
- Infrastructure - as - a - Service
- Platform - as - a - Service
- Software - as - a - Service
The following diagram visualizes the shared and common parts of three different technologies which all use the same three services used in cloud technology. Experts have little capacity to connect the commonality among the three. Assume, my claim is correct, assume there is a way to say without exception information, communication and technology of all types can be delivered via cloud technology. The solution prescribed has an individual component or cloud for civil society and prescribes for organizations and agencies of all sizes and across all parts of the world a means to deliver using a common set of technologies, without forcing a single vendor.
