The relationship between data, information, knowledge, and wisdom is often represented as a hierarchy or continuum, commonly known as the DIKW pyramid, renamed here to the Noetic Pyramid for increased fanciness. The 4 core elements are:
1. Data: Raw facts and figures without context or interpretation.
2. Information: Data that has been processed, organized, or given context.
3. Knowledge: Information that has been internalized, understood, and can be applied.
4. Wisdom: The ability to apply knowledge effectively, with insight and good judgment. (Is this really [[Wisdom]] or something more akin to [action intelligence](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6358fcee9747a0469c1398a6/t/65856807306a57677fea8579/1703241737324/8+Principles+of+Sensemaking.pdf)?)
