I am working on an article and would like to use the following hierarchy:

Wisdom
Understanding
Knowledge
Information
Data

I believe this comes from the Information Science profession. The
hierarchy appears to be so basic to the profession that it's frequently
alluded to but hardly ever clearly defined. Can anyone offer me any
references where this heirarchy is explained?

Feel free to respond privately.

Thanks
