Hi John, Welcome (and thanks for your question on the SIKM Leaders call recently too). Your point is well made and relevant. To me it reinforces the validity of the concept of a Knowledge

Thanks for the support on this Murray, You make some very good points that illustrate this point well. The mainstream education systems is very quantitative, which lends itself to categories and

Hi Chris, Agreed, and I would also agree with Prusak's characterisation of information. However if you haven't read up about Vigo information theory (best seen as an extension to
