INFORMATION & KNOWLEDGE

• “Information Gap” "Data does not equal information, information does not equal knowledge; and knowledge does not equal wisdom.

We have oceans of data, rivers of information, puddles of knowledge and the odd drop of wisdom."

Nix H. "A National Geographic information - an Achievable Objective?

AUSISA Conference. 1990.



• Data collection should be strategic and transparent, issue led, with a user focus

• Technologies should be designed to be fit for purpose and match the of capabilities and needs of end users

• Information and knowledge flows should be facilitated by consistent use of simple metadata records through internet-based and other gateways

• Awareness-raising and capacity-building to enhance understanding between providers, users and their needs.



“FIT FOR PURPOSE” meaning, relevance and purpose

"if you kick a stone, the result is predictable in principle, one can calculate the trajectory of the stone before actually kicking it......

Kicking a dog, however, is a different matter.”Gregory Bateson 1972
