DIKUW Model (Russell Ackoff, 1980s) – a reconfiguring of the DIKW Pyramid with two major elaborations: (1) the incorporation of a time frame, in which Data, Information, and Knowledge are associated with the past and Wisdom with the future; and (2) the addition of “Understanding,” which is inserted between Knowledge and Wisdom and associated with the immediate present (i.e., neither past nor future)
