The Nature of information is impossible to Unpublish
intro
Read this to begin: Overdue Account
Data, from 'Datum' in latin meaning 'something given'. Data constantly gives, but how do you give data back? I found that David Thorne's email thread with Jane, illustrate the essence of digital information. Once data is created it can only disseminate, the very idea of receiving your data back is absurd.
Before entering the topic I'd like to introduce the DIKW classification model which represents the relationships between the follwing:
- Data :
- Information
- knowledge
- Wisdom
Typically information is defined in terms of data, knowledge in terms of information, and wisdom in terms of knowledge
To Publish: is to make knowledge public. Public comes from the latin 'populus' from latin meaning 'people', so to publish is to give knowledge to people.
If we agree on these definitions, then data, the raw segments, that are available to the public are not considered as publishing.
