Databases

Description: 

There was not much for this unit, just a SIMPath and a few terms. In this unit we learned about databases, more specifically data, information, knowledge and wisdom

• Data is the raw and unprocessed facts that are obtained by the use of measurement instruments

• Information is the data that has been processed and structed with context added

• Knowledge is the ability to use information strategically to achieve objectives

• Wisdom is the ability to select objected that are supportive of a general set of values

Lessons Learned:

Though this lesson was short and simplified I still learned quite a bit. I learned information (wink, wink) that I probably would not have looked into or gained the knowledge (again wink, wink) of prior. I now know the differences between these technical details of databases and will be able to distinguish between these details in the future.
