Our life in years. In Those years is what we live.Our living means doing some task.so what we did is our life.

The journey from Data to Wisdom is often illustrated using the DIKW hierarchy, which stands for:

  1. Data – Raw facts and figures without context. Example: 98.6, 101.3, 99.1

  2. Information – Processed or organized data that has meaning. Example: These numbers are body temperatures recorded at different times.

  3. Knowledge – Insights gained from analyzing and understanding information. Example: A temperature above 100.4°F typically indicates a fever.

  4. Wisdom – The ability to make sound judgments and decisions based on knowledge. Example: Knowing when to seek medical attention or recommend rest based on patterns of fever.

Would you like a custom hierarchy for a specific field (e.g., economics, computer science)?

Great question, Sri Ram! Let’s break it down clearly and show how Objectives, Principles, and Procedures relate — especially in impression making (primarily in dentistry, but this framework applies to other fields too).


  1. What is an Objective?

Objective = The goal or purpose of doing something.

In impression making: To accurately record oral tissues for fabricating dental appliances (like dentures, crowns, etc.).


  1. What are Principles?

Principles = The basic rules or concepts that must be followed to achieve the objective.

In impression making:

Retention

Stability

Support

Peripheral seal

Tissue preservation These guide how to make an ideal impression.


  1. What are Procedures?

Procedures = The steps or methods you follow during the actual process.

In impression making:

Tray selection

Material mixing

Placement in the mouth

Border molding

Final impression taking

Disinfection and pouring cast


  1. How Are They Related?

Example in Dentistry:

Objective: Get an accurate impression of edentulous arch.

Principles: Apply selective pressure to avoid trauma; ensure peripheral seal.

Procedure: Use a custom tray, border mold with greenstick, take final impression with light body material.


Would you like this summarized as a diagram or flashcards for revision?

Sure! Here's a more concise version of the house analogy:


House Analogy in Points

  1. Objective: Build a strong, safe house.

  2. Principles: Use strong foundation, quality materials, proper design.

  3. Procedures: Survey land → Lay foundation → Build walls → Install roof.


Relation: Follow procedures based on principles to achieve the objective.
