Information Spectrum

The notion of the “information spectrum” refers to a hierarchical structure of information, which clearly outlines a series of value-added processes and associated methods (Taylor, 1982). The spectrum identifies five phases of increasing complexity as: data, information, informing knowledge, productive knowledge, and action. For instance, transforming raw data into information requires the efforts of organizing processes through grouping, classifying, relating, formatting, signaling, or displaying. An information professional engages in synthesizing and making judgments in order to make the transition from the information phase to the informing- or productive-knowledge phases that can support action and decision making. The entire information spectrum represents how different levels of information processing enable and advance the creation of value-added processes.

• Data = characters, symbols, numbers, signs whose meaning may or may not be apparent.
• Information = data with labels or definition; data that has structure or relationships.
• Knowledge = collected, combined, organized, processed information for a purpose. 
• Wisdom = knowledge over time; knowledge without thinking.
