description | For some time now, the pundits have been declaiming that “Information is the fourth resource”, and that to ignore that fact will inevitably lead to organisational catastrophe. But it is only more recently that people have started to take the problem of unstructured information more seriously (see, for example a Conference in London scheduled for September 2004 with the title “Exploiting unstructured information”, organised by Bloor Research and sponsored by Microsoft). This attention is welcome, but behind the hype it is sensible to consider what we mean by information and knowledge. In a very perceptive paper, Miller [1] argues that I=0, that information has no intrinsic meaning, and that knowledge is the uniquely human capability of making meaning from information. It is therefore imperative that we build information systems that recognize this, particularly in view of the deluge of “information” currently flooding the Web and organisational intranets. |
