Knowledge Organisation
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
