Mee#ng of Coordinators Urban, Soil, Deser#fica#on and Land Degrada#on The SECOA Project XII 2009 – XI 2013 Armando Montanari Rome Sapienza University Brussels, Berlaymont 22 & 23 October 2012 The SECOA Project (local-­‐ global -­‐ local) SECOA PERT DIAGRAMME “SECOA revised” Ackoff Pyramid (derived from Ackoff 1989; Bellinger et al.2004) DATA: SECOA WP1-­‐2-­‐3-­‐4 Data: raw material and facts. Data: numbers, text or symbols which are neutral and (almost) context free Data: answers to quesYons as who?, what?, where?, when? Data: alphanumeric and geographically – referenced When geo-­‐referenced are o]en cited as facts INFORMATION: SECOA WP5 InformaYon can be used: -­‐  as synonymous of data -­‐  -­‐ but also (as in SECOA) is differenYated from data because some degree of selecYon, organizaYon, preparaYon and some degree of interpretaYon -­‐  It can be costly to produce but cheap to reproduce INFORMATION: SECOA WP5 InformaYon can be used: -­‐  as synonymous of data -­‐  -­‐ but also (as in SECOA) is differenYated from data because some degree of selecYon, organizaYon, preparaYon and some degree of interpretaYon -­‐  It can be costly to produce but cheap to reproduce KNOWLEDGE: SECOA WP6 It is not only access to large amounts of informaYon Added value is represented by interpretaYon based on parYcular context, experience, purpose (How? Why?) Available informaYon becomes knowledge when it is interpreted and used by different users in the context of their experience and experYse INFORMATION: SECOA WP5 InformaYon can be used: -­‐  as synonymous of data -­‐  -­‐ but also (as in SECOA) is differenYated from data because some degree of selecYon, organizaYon, preparaYon and some degree of interpretaYon -­‐  It can be costly to produce but cheap to reproduce KNOWLEDGE 2 – SECOA WP6 There are two types of knowledge 1 – codified: using a code which can facilitate transfer to others 2 – tacit: the interpreta#on is more flexible and reflects par#cular technologies or language. It is considered a compe##ve advantage KNOWLEDGE 3 – WP6 Main differences between Informa#on and Knowledge: -­‐  The need for a knower (knowledge is related to people) -­‐  The difficulty of considering outside the range of an user (it is more difficult to transfer knowledge) -­‐  knowledge needs assimila#on KNOWLEDGE 3 – WP6 Main differences between Informa#on and Knowledge: -­‐  The need for a knower (knowledge is related to people) -­‐  The difficulty of considering outside the range of an user (it is more difficult to transfer knowledge) -­‐  knowledge needs assimila#on WISDOM – SECOA WP7 The stage of judgment: what can be done vs. what cannot be done on the base of the previous DIKW stages Wisdom is typical of the human being. A soul is something machines will never possess It is used in the context of a decision which has to be disinterested, based on all the available knowledge. UNDERSTANDING – SECOA WP8 Understanding completes the process with both cogni#ve and analy#cal phase. It is an evolu#on of the previous level of knowledge. A Community that has a correct understanding (of the environmental and socio-­‐economic phenomena) is able to take correct ac#ons as it is able to synthesize new knowledge. UNDERSTANDING 2 – SECOA WP8 Ac#ons can also be based on -­‐  new informa#on results of further data processing -­‐  phenomena already known and described before. The Project SECOA – the global and local dimension of coastal areas-­‐ 1 The coast represents the three-­‐way interface between land, sea and over liyng atmosphere where global dimensions meet local priori#es SECOA builds his knowledge on data referring both to global and local dimension, the two levels are in a rela#onship of cause and effect.

The Project SECOA – the global and local dimension of coastal areas -­‐ 2 The characterisYcs of the coastal areas are the privileged point of encounter and observaYon of local and global phenomena the D6.2 reflects this approach: the taxonomy is the result of an approach that reflects the global and local dimension.
