知识分类与管理内容摘要：
Today´s programme
Our aim is to present ideas and discuss concepts so that we will have a common understanding of terms such as data, information, knowledge, classification, knowledge management, etc.
Presentation is divided in three parts:
1st:  Basic concepts and definition of terms
2nd:  Simple introduction of classification
3rd:  Knowledge Management
Information
Different definitions are given by different people (as seen in the history of information):
Information is a clue
Information reduces uncertainty
Information is something one did not know before
Data
Another important term used interchangeably with information but with the information profession there is a basic difference:
Data are simply facts and figures generated
Data are not actually evaluated and hence they do not help us to make decisions
Examples
IFU collects data about all the women participants
name, age, qualification, country, etc.
IFU collects data about all the papers presented during this three months
title, main subject, presenter, etc.
