What is knowledge-enhanced Information Sharing?

• Data are numbers and words without relationships

• Information is data with relationships

• Knowledge is information in context

• Context relates the domain/situation with which the organization is acting upon the information

Next-level net-centric operations require delivering the right information to the right person, on the right device, at the right time.

Why knowledge-enhanced information sharing and why now?

• Break down barriers to rapid communication and collaboration

• Avoid time delays, conflicting planning efforts, confusion, and waste associated with TMI

• Time is right to exploit global digitization and multiple technologies

C4I = TMI
