The Electronic Library Manager's Guide to Information Exchange after Death

Abstract

I was reading the first issue of Multimedia Review the other day and came across a description of the ‘wisdom continuum’ coined by John Joss, an aviation journalist. The continuum flows from data, which holds no information by itself, to information, which is data organised within a greater structure of context or meaning, thence to knowledge, which is the integration and application of informational entities such that solutions to problems can be found, and finally to wisdom, which is procedural knowledge enriched with experience (Traub 1990).
