English abstract

The information pyramid, or DIKW hierarchy, is a key construct in information science and other related disciplines. Its concept, history and criticism are presented. Thereafter, the pyramid is enriched with the contributions of cognitive sciences in the last decades, and an enlarged model is proposed. Finally, a discussion of the different levels of the pyramid is presented from the point of view of the architecture of the human information system: data, information, knowledge and wisdom. As a result of very different points of view, the model is full of ambiguities and alternative interpretations, but nevertheless remains a fertile metaphor and a point of reference for the intra-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary dialog at the maximum level of abstraction.

Spanish abstract

Se analiza la pirámide de la información, un constructo clave en la ciencia de la información y en otras disciplinas relacionadas. Se presenta su concepto, su evolución histórica y las principales críticas realizadas en el modelo. A continuación, se enriquece con los hallazgos que se han producido en los últimos decenios en el campo de la ciencia cognitiva y se propone un modelo ampliado. Finalmente, se presenta una valoración de los diferentes niveles de la pirámide desde el punto de vista de la arquitectura humana de la información: datos, información, conocimientos y sabiduría. Como resultado de puntos de vista muy diferentes, el modelo está plagado de ambigüedades y polisemias, pero constituye una metáfora fértil y un punto de referencia para el diálogo intradisciplinar y transdisciplinar al máximo nivel de abstracción.
