Dussin and Ferro, "The Role of the DIKW Hierarchy in the Design of a Digital Library System for the Scientific Data of Large-Scale Evaluation Campaigns", TCDL Bulletin 5.1 (2009) The Role of the DIKW Hierarchy in the Design of a Digital Library System for the Scientific Data of Large-Scale Evaluation Campaigns Abstract This paper exploits the Data, Information, Knowledge,Wisdom (DIKW) hierarchy as a framework for modelling the scientific data produced during large-scale evaluation campaigns for information retrieval systems in order to design a digital library system able to manage and support the course of such evaluation campaigns.
Data, Information, Knowledge, & Wisdom. By Gene Bellinger, Durval Castro, Anthony Mills There is probably no segment of activity in the world attracting as much attention at present as that of knowledge management.
