2.1 知识的范围 数据、信息、知识和智慧可以看作是一个连续统一体中的组成部分,它们之中的一个可以引导出另一个,它们之间没有明显的界限。 知识的范围如图1所示。图中,“事件”指发生的一件事、一些条件或社会状态的变化。如果我们想要与这些状态或条件打交道,就必须把它表达出来。我们发明“符号”——数字、字母、雕像或图象作为事件的表达。当我们使用一定规则将这些符号组织起来,就产生了“数据”。我们的数字系统和语言都是这样的表述形式。 2.1 Scope of Knowledge Data, information, knowledge, and wisdom can be viewed as part of a continuum, one of them leading to another, with no clear boundaries between them. The scope of knowledge is shown in Figure 1. In the diagram, “incident” refers to what happened, some conditions or changes in social conditions. If we want to deal with these conditions or conditions, we must express it. We invent “symbols” - numbers, letters, statues, or images as expressions of events. When we use certain rules to organize these symbols, we produce “data.” Our numerical system and language are such expressions.
