3. Knowledge: a Challenging Concept

4. DIKW / DIKT in Practice: “Take Five”

5. Europeana in the DIKT Continuum

6. Semantic Contextualisation in Europeana

7. From 'Connecting' to 'Thinking'

10. One of its characteristics will be to enable the generation of knowledge pertaining to culture!

12. the way we technically prepare to implement the necessary data structures and functionality ;

13. the ‚semantic‘ functionality Europeana will offer using these elements to go well beyond the 'traditional' digital library paradigm.

15. No consensual definition – but a hierarchical continuum (DIKW) “Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge ? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information ?” (T.S. Eliot, "The Rock", Faber & Faber 1934)

16. Information Science has added Data to the hierarchy

19. Data have no meaning in themselves .

21. Meaningful data

22. Phonological / lexical level in linguistics

24. Social or semantic context

25. Contextualisation enables (simple!) interpolative and deterministic reasoning .

27. sophisticated and sensitive use of knowledge;

28. is exhibited through decision making ;

29. exercise of judgement in complex real-life situations;

30. requires consideration of ethical and social considerations ;

31. builds on intuition , communication , and trust .

33. Replace the rich but diffuse concept ' wisdom ' with ' thinking '

34. Mental activity we cannot (entirely) confer to machines

35. Non-deterministic

36. Semantic level in linguistics (‘wisdom’ would probably be on pragmatic level)

37. DIKW -> DIKT

47. Neither a huge information repository (even though building on many of them, again)!

48. High volume aggregation of digital representations of cultural artefacts together with rich contextualisation data and embedded in a Linked Open Data architecture.

49. Enabling knowledge generation …

50. … and maybe even speculative thinking
