Who is Jonathan Hey?

Jonathan Hey is an expert in connecting the abstract concepts of knowledge management with other levels of experiences like language and sensual interaction with the physical world, thus providing not only better understanding of these concepts but key elements of their more precise definition as well. This also enables experts in other fields than information science to incorporate understanding of those abstract levels into their own research.

Besides the extended research about the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving Jonathan Hey presented a study related to the information hierarchy. While emphasizing the transitions between the different levels of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom, Hey enriches the whole model with analytic views about language and concepts. The study is a fundamental part of the training system for ocean data and information management in the International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange Program of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission providing the overview for the topical division Information Technology and Scientific Communication.
