something ready to visualize or analyse; it provides
context for the data.
Knowledge - meaning can be derived from
information and applied to achieve a set of goal.

Wisdom - application of knowledge

IBM collaborated with Raw Seafoods in the USA to digitize the supply
chain in 2019. Data would be uploaded to the IBM Food Trust platform at
each stage of the supply chain. This included data on the time and
location when the seafood was caught, when the boat docked at the port,
when and where the seafood was packed, details about the shipping and
delivery to supermarkets and restaurants. This included images and video.
Blockchain technologies were used by the platform to reduce the level of
fraud and increase confidence in the quality and freshness of the seafood.
