5. A world of data
Data are often viewed as a lowest level of
abstraction from which information and knowledge
are derived.
Data is usually collected as the result of experience,
observation, experiment or processes within a
computer system and may consist of numbers,
words, or images.

6. The notion of sensing
Aristotle: Traditional five senses: sight, hearing,
touch, smell, taste.
Humans have six additional senses: pain
(nociception), balance (equilibrioception), joint
motion and acceleration (proprioception &
kinesthesia), sense of time, sense of temperature
differences (thermoception), and the sense of
direction (magnetoception).

(Gruber, 1995)
“A conceptualization is a

set of conceptual
relations defined on a
domain space”
Provides ways to define
