http://www.systems-thinking.org/dikw/dikw.htm

According to Russell Ackoff, a systems theorist and professor of organizational change, the content of the human mind can be classified into five categories:

Data

symbols

Information

data that are processed to be useful; provides answers to “who”, “what”, “where”, and “when” questions

Knowledge

application of data and information; answers “how” questions

Understanding

appreciation of “why”

Wisdom

evaluated understanding.

ということで、人間の心の内容を5つのカテゴリーに分類した説明がAckoff, R. L. の理論 (?) を参照しつつ説明されています。
