What parts of the data information lifecycle are discussed in this article?
Data information goes through three stages, from data to information and from information to knowledge. Data is defined as the organized number of words such as texts, and information is termed as the organized number of words that are interpreted, communicated, or given some context or meaning, and knowledge is the information taken and inferences drawn from human experiences. The lifecycle, therefore, begins from data to information, which is passed to people who generate knowledge and then pass it to other people.
Who are the stakeholders in this “chilling reality”?
Knowledge management systems.
From the lens of the stakeholders-what are some of the many possible changes that might be implemented to lower these statistics?
Centralize information- Ensure that everyone is able to access relevant and important information easily.
