What is the DIKW Pyramid?

The DIKW Pyramid refers loosely to a class of models for representing purported structural and/or functional relationships between data, information, knowledge, and wisdom.

“Typically information is defined in terms of data, knowledge in terms of information, and wisdom in terms of knowledge”. It represents an irreducible structure to information and knowledge and by extension a fundamental structure to information societies. In this video, we give a quick outline to each of the different levels and their characteristics and then summarize the process of going up or down the hierarchy.

I really like what you did here. I am an engineer, not a philosopher but I have been a fan of DIKW since grad school way back in the late 1980s. My graduate advisor, Dr John Michaels stated he believed that the model is incomplete and the TRUTH needs to be above wisdom. Truth is absolute and objective. Even by your definitions here, WISDOM is neither good or bad. If you are building an evil system, it is good to be evil. Good is not objective, it is situational. I like Dr. Michael's approach and realized that a PhD means a Doctor of Philosophy in that philosophy is the pursuit of truth, through the components of DIKW. Therefore all areas of study and all data ultimately yield truth. A single truth from all angles. I leave the definition of truth to the philosophers and theologians.

Impressive explanation of the hierarchical relationship.
