Abstract

The digital age commenced in the mid-20th century and since we have seen approximately exponential growth in information. This period has also seen the rapid growth of computer technology that has facilitated, for instance, the derivation of whole genomes and automated drug discovery. Data, information, knowledge and wisdom lay the foundations for understanding how experience is formed from evidence and observations. When data are put into context, the resultant information can drive growth and further contribute to increased knowledge. Appreciating the source of data enables us to recognize and hopefully correct for inherent error and bias. Ultimately knowledge discovery can be automated to gain information from data and so on, enhancing our understanding of a given subject and expanding collective wisdom.

数据、信息、知识、智慧和理解

数字时代始于20世纪中期，此后我们看到了信息的指数级增长。这一时期也见证了计算机技术的快速发展，例如，促进了全基因组的推导和自动药物发现。数据、信息、知识和智慧为理解经验如何从证据和观察中形成奠定了基础。当把数据放在上下文中，由此产生的信息可以推动增长，并进一步有助于增加知识。了解数据的来源使我们能够识别并纠正固有的错误和偏见。最终，知识发现可以自动化地从数据中获取信息等等，增强我们对给定主题的理解，扩大集体智慧。
