In my daily work, I often deal with massive financial (well, let's call it)
data-stuff. Through many layers of abstraction my designs turn them into
lucrative products that get sold for a pretty penny. I don't stop and
agonize over noise>data>info>wisdom type of artificial constructs. I'm
concerned about the ability of the user to consume and act on them. I'm
concerned about patterns and flows. I am supremely concerned about context.
I use different conceptual models than data-info dichotomies.
