Abstract
This paper begins with the consanguineous relationship between data, information and knowledge, and then talks about knowledge management and information management. According to their definitions and features we think that there is a close relationship and mutual promotion between the two. Information management offers a solid foundation to knowledge management while the latter proposes more requirements for the former. However, the two are not the same thing; they do have differences. For one thing, knowledge management is not the advanced stage of information management, as it didn’t update from information management; for another, its sprouting is not for the defects of information management, but the necessity of knowledge-based economy development.
Highlights
This paper begins with the consanguineous relationship between data, information and knowledge, and talks about knowledge management and information management
Neil Fleming thought that “An allocation of data is not information, a collection of August, 2009 information is not knowledge, a collection of knowledge is not wisdom, and a collection of wisdom is not truth”. This means that information, knowledge, and wisdom are more than collections
While information entails an understanding of the relations between data, it generally does not provide a foundation for why the data is what it is, nor an indication as to how the data is likely to change over time
Summary
We may declare that information and knowledge have mutually reinforced and affected relationship which makes them inseparable. The information-oriented IM and KM based on knowledge sharing & use have close relationship. It is thought that IM is a planning, budgeting, organization, conducting, and control process of information resources and other related resources, such as information equipment, facilities, IT, investment and staff, and so on. The process begins with communication between the users and system analysts, and the analysts construe users' needs, collect & convert information resources, organize, store, retrieve, transfer them, and make them meet the users' information demand. Information development and utilization is the core of IM, and what's more, the process of information resources exploitation and use constitutes the information resources life cycle, which is coherent with the mankind’s recognizing and transforming the world
