Infoenthusiasts may exult in the sheer volume of raw data, & just as industrial revolution society learned how to process a glut of "atoms," we must now learn how to process this glut of "information."
This diagram depicts a spectrum of information sharing capabilities. Moving from lower right to upper left of the diagram, we see that more expressive forms of metadata and semantic modeling encompass the simpler forms, and extend their capabilities. From
