As Drupal moves beyond "content publishing" and towards "content as data", are you managing data to its full potential? Are you storing content, but should you be proving systems to develop information? Is knowledge created from interacting with your Content Management System? Attend this session and learn about the Four Pillars of Data. Learn how to contextualise the four pillars of data and how this understanding will lead to a Drupal platform that creates information and knowledge.

We'll envision your application creating knowledge by exploring:

Current focus of Content Management Systems

• Flexible way to define content.
• Provides tools to relate content, tag content, and comment on content.
• Easily manage content with creation, editing and deleting.
• Fast development of views for the content.
• Little thought into data analysis.

Four Pillars of data: gravity <-> velocity <-> variety <-> integrity

• Data has Gravity
• Data has Velocity
• Data has Variety
• Data has Integrity

When data is Information

• Must have context
• How to obtain/create context
• How to provide for the discovery of context.

When data is Knowledge

• Must have multiple context.
• What changes are needed.
• How to visualize Knowledge.
• Must have trust in the data to accept and act on Knowledge.
