Category[edit]

Since there is a [Category:Information, knowledge, and uncertainty], why is there a [Category:Information]? Shouldn't there be just one? And most of all, this shouldn't be under the Fundamental category because [Category:Information, knowledge, and uncertainty] is under the [Category:Knowledge] which traces up to [Category:Thought]. I just am putting this out there before I change things up. Esnaz (talk) 01:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, as far as categorization is concerned, higher level concepts serve as base categories for lower level concepts. Among data, information, and knowledge the order is this:

Data is of highest level among the three, hence, Category:Data serves as a base category for Category:Information.

Information is next, so, Category:Information is in Category:Data while it is a base category for Category:Knowledge, and the same rules follow for knowledge. Thanks, Sa'y (talk) 05:32, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
