[Sigia-l] RE: Data vs. Information

[Jim Kauffman]

Mary,

Assuming we can trust the CIA--and when have they ever got things
wrong?--this information is only very, very slightly useful to me.

Maybe we need to define a scale of the usefulness of a chunk of information
to any given user (or persona). Might be interesting to use in a survey.
