Question

Data is the building block for information and information is the building block of ..................

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2025 Paper 2 Sociology Question Paper (15-Jun-2025)
The correct answer is

Knowledge

The classical DIKW hierarchy in information science holds that raw Data are processed and given context to become Information, and Information is in turn interpreted, related and internalised to become Knowledge.

Knowledge represents an understanding based on patterns, experience and reasoning, and it forms the third rung of the pyramid whose apex is Wisdom.

Wisdom sits above knowledge and involves applied judgement, so it is not the immediate next block; Message is a unit of transmitted content, not a stage of the hierarchy; and Perception is a psychological process rather than a level in the DIKW model.

Therefore the correct next building block after information is the third layer of the DIKW pyramid.

Hence, Knowledge.
