An interactive exploration of the growing divide between business knowledge and data operations, advocating for a unified approach through structured, meaningful information.
The term "Data" has created a false dichotomy, separating teams with deep business and domain knowledge from the technical teams who manage information systems. This leads to data quality issues, missed opportunities, and AI models that guess instead of know.
By reframing "data" as Shared Formal Knowledge, we can bridge the gap. This approach focuses on making human expertise explicit, machine-readable, and connected, creating a reliable foundation for smarter systems and better business outcomes.
This infographic is based on the article "The term “Data” is dividing us" by Adam Keresztes. It explores the author's journey from User Experience to semantics and knowledge representation, highlighting the critical need to unify business and data teams.
