14.3.3 Comparative Analysis of Cognitive Space
The concept of data In the DIKWP model, data is not only original and unprocessed facts and observation records. The concept of data is not only a simple fact or observation record, but also a cognitive object confirmed by the cognitive subject through the concept space in the cognitive process. This means that data have been classified and organized in some way before they are recognized, which makes them have a specific meaning in the conceptual space.
Semantics of data The semantics of data is a concrete manifestation of expressing the same meaning in the cognitive process. In cognitive space, data is not only a simple record, but also the result of semantic matching and probability confirmation of the cognitive objects corresponding to these data records through the classification and correspondence of conceptual space or semantic space. This processing method highlights the cognitive attribute of data in communication and thinking, that is, the meaning of data is identified and conceptually confirmed by concrete semantics through the comparison between cognitive subject and existing concepts and semantics.
For example, in a biological experiment, scientists collected growth data of various plants, including height, number of leaves, color and so on. These data are raw records in the initial stage. However, when these data are sorted, classified and input into a growth model, they are not only numerical or textual records, but also concrete expressions of plant growth. This process of classification and arrangement is the process of transforming original data into data with specific semantics.
The concept of information In the DIKWP model, information corresponds to one or more "different" semantics in the cognitive process. Information is to semantically associate the cognitive object of DIKWP in the cognitive space of the cognitive subject with the cognitive object of DIKWP in the semantic space through a specific purpose. Through this association, cognitive subjects can identify the differences in cognitive contents such as data, information, knowledge, wisdom or purpose. Through probabilistic confirmation or logical judgment, this difference forms information semantics in semantic space, or produces new semantic association in semantic space.
Semantics of information The semantics of information is to connect the cognitive content of data, information, knowledge, wisdom or purpose with the existing cognitive objects of cognitive subjects through a specific purpose, thus generating new semantic associations. In the cognitive space, this process not only includes the re-semantic combination and semantic transformation of the known DIKWP content, but also involves the generation of new cognitive understanding and information semantics through this re-combination and transformation. This process of semantic generation emphasizes the dynamic and constructive nature of information.
For example, in the above biological experiment, by analyzing and processing the growth data of plants, scientists can identify some patterns, such as the growth differences of different plants under different environmental conditions. These models are not only a simple display of data, but also contain scientists' cognitive purpose, that is, to understand and explain the internal mechanism of plant growth. Through this information processing process, scientists can transform the specific data of plant growth into information with explanatory and predictive ability.
The concept of knowledge In the DIKWP model, knowledge corresponds to one or more "complete" semantics in the cognitive space. Knowledge is to abstract the semantic integrity of DIKWP content by cognitive subjects with the help of certain assumptions, and to obtain the semantic understanding and explanation between DIKWP content of cognitive objects. This kind of understanding and explanation forms the semantic connection between the cognitive input DIKWP content of cognitive interaction activities and the existing cognitive DIKWP content, and corresponds to one or more "complete" semantics bearing complete cognitive confirmation in a higher-order cognitive space.
Semantics of knowledge The semantics of knowledge is to give "complete" semantics to some observation results through high-level cognitive activities, thus forming systematic understanding and rules. For example, it is impossible to know that all swans are white through observation, but in the cognitive space, cognitive subjects can give "complete" semantics to some observation results through assumptions (high-order cognitive activities that give complete semantics), that is, "all", and then form knowledge semantics corresponding to the knowledge rule that "swans are all white" with complete semantics.
In the case of biological experiments, scientists may find that some plants grow faster under certain conditions through long-term observation and experiments. By abstracting and assuming these observations, scientists can form the knowledge that "in high humidity environment, plant X grows faster". This kind of knowledge is not only the understanding of single information, but also the systematic understanding formed after repeated verification and correction, which can explain and predict the growth behavior of plants under different environmental conditions.
4 Comparative analysis of Professor Yucong Duan's DIKWP model with other knowledge definitions and models.
4.1 DIKW model (data-information-knowledge-wisdom)
Data: Original and unprocessed facts and observation records.
Information: data that has been processed and understood and given a specific meaning.
Knowledge: Further explanation and understanding of information, forming patterns and rules.
Wisdom: Use knowledge to make effective decisions and actions.
Professor Yucong Duan's definition emphasizes the dynamic generation and semantic integrity of knowledge, while DIKW model pays more attention to the hierarchical and static storage of knowledge.
Professor Duan's definition is oriented to the development from artificial intelligence to artificial consistence system, and pays attention to the high-order cognitive activities of cognitive subjects and the hypothetical generation of knowledge, while DIKW model mainly focuses on the transformation process from information to knowledge.
Professor Duan's definition emphasizes the abstraction and verification process of knowledge, while DIKW model mainly focuses on the classification and hierarchical structure of knowledge.
4.2 SECI model (socialization, externalization, combination, internalization)
Explicit knowledge: it can be transmitted by writing and coding.
Tacit knowledge: personal experience and insight, which are difficult to transmit directly.
Four processes: socialization, externalization, combination and internalization.
Professor Yucong Duan's definition emphasizes the semantic network and semantic integrity of knowledge, while SECI model pays more attention to the process of knowledge transformation and sharing.
SECI model emphasizes the interaction between explicit and implicit knowledge, while Professor Duan's definition focuses on the abstraction and verification of knowledge.
Professor Duan's definition is more suitable to describe the generation process of knowledge, while SECI model is more suitable to describe the flow and sharing of knowledge within the organization.
4.3 Polanyi's tacit knowledge theory
Explicit knowledge: it can be formalized and transmitted.
Tacit knowledge: personal experience and skills that are difficult to formalize and transmit.
Professor Yucong Duan's definition pays more attention to the semantic integrity and abstract process of knowledge, while Polanyi's theory emphasizes the importance and difficulty of transferring tacit knowledge.
Polanyi's theory pays more attention to the individuality of knowledge, and Professor Duan's definition also considers the sharing and dissemination of knowledge at the social level.

Professor Duan's definition provides the semantic network representation of knowledge, while the Cynefin framework provides the situational classification of knowledge application.
5 Case 5: Study on Plant Growth in Biology
Observation records: plant height, number of leaves, color, humidity, temperature, etc.
Data processing: record these raw data, classify and sort them out.
By analyzing and processing the data, the patterns and laws of plant growth are identified.
For example, identify the growth differences of plants under different humidity conditions.
Through long-term observation and experiment, a systematic understanding of plant growth law is formed.
Hypothetical formation: in high humidity environment, plant X grows faster.
Semantic integrity abstraction: abstract this observation result to form systematic knowledge.
Semantic connection construction: connecting new knowledge with existing plant growth theories.
Verification and correction: through further observation and experiment, verify and correct knowledge.
6 Structured representation of knowledge
The structural representation of knowledge emphasizes the systematicness of knowledge in cognition. In the DIKWP model, knowledge can be expressed as a semantic network:
K=(N,E)
Among them:
N represents a set of concepts.
E represents a set of relationships between concepts.
This kind of representation positions knowledge cognition as a higher cognitive achievement, emphasizing the structure of knowledge and the ability to capture complete semantics. This is very important for understanding complex systems and abstract concepts.
7 Cognition and construction of knowledge
Knowledge is the bridge of the cognitive state transformation from never understanding to understanding of DIKWP content, and the confirmation of knowledge is strengthened through verification. The construction of knowledge not only depends on the accumulation of data and information, but more importantly, it forms an understanding of the essence and internal relations of things through abstraction and generalization in the cognitive process. Knowledge exists not only at the individual level, but also at the collective or social level, and is shared and disseminated through culture, education and inheritance.
Knowledge semantics is a structured knowledge formed after deep processing and internalization of DIKWP content. This understanding is in the conceptual space and corresponds to the semantic space with the help of "complete" semantics. The definition of knowledge in the framework of DIKWP reflects a deep understanding of the world and a complete grasp of semantics. This echoes Aristotle's concept of formal reasons, that is, the essence and purpose of things can be explored and understood through reason and experience.
The formation of each knowledge rule represents the cognitive subject's cognitive grasp of the internal laws and essence of things in the DIKWP model. From the philosophical point of view, knowledge is not only the product of cognitive process, but also the purpose and guidance of this process. The formation and application of knowledge reflects the adaptation and transformation of the cognitive subject to the world, and it is a semantic space understanding of the deep-seated laws of the real world.
8 Specific Case: Study on Planetary Motion in Astronomy
We take the study of planetary motion in astronomy as an example to explain the concept and semantic generation process of knowledge in detail.
Observation records include:
The position of the planet (longitude and latitude)
The trajectory of the planet (recorded by telescopes and photographic equipment)
Time record (observation time and date)
Distance between celestial bodies (using radar ranging and other technologies)
These data are the original observation records of planetary motion.
Through the processing and interpretation of the data, the information obtained includes:
Planetary trajectory diagram
Periodicity of planetary motion
Changes in the relative positions of planets with the sun and other celestial bodies
This information is the result of data processing and interpretation, which provides a preliminary understanding of planetary motion.
The process of knowledge generation is as follows:
Observe and learn:
Through long-term observation and recording, researchers can identify the trajectory and motion law of planets.
Hypothetical formation:
Based on the observation results, the hypothesis of planetary motion is put forward. For example, Kepler put forward the hypothesis that "the orbits of planets are elliptical".
Semantic integrity abstraction:
The observation results are given "complete" semantics through assumptions, forming a systematic understanding. For example, assume that "the orbits of all planets are elliptical" and confirm this assumption through further observation and calculation.
Semantic connection construction:
Link new knowledge with existing astronomical knowledge to form a systematic knowledge structure. For example, Kepler's law and Newton's law of universal gravitation are combined to form a complete understanding of planetary motion.
Knowledge verification and correction:
Through continuous observation and calculation, the hypothesis of planetary motion is verified, and it is revised and improved according to the new observation results. For example, by observing other planets, the universality of Kepler's law is confirmed.
8.4 Structured representation of knowledge
In this case, knowledge can be expressed as a semantic network, in which nodes represent astronomical concepts and edges represent semantic relationships between concepts. For example:
Node n:
Planetary orbit (ellipse)
orbital period
universal gravitation
Edge e:
Relationship between planetary orbit and orbital period
Relationship between orbital period and universal gravitation
This structural representation helps us to understand the complex system and abstract concepts of planetary motion.
9 The philosophical significance of knowledge
In the DIKWP model, knowledge is not only a record of observations and facts, but also a systematic understanding formed through assumptions and higher-order cognitive activities. The semantic integrity and systematicness of knowledge reflect the cognitive subject's profound understanding and interpretation of the world. Through hypothesis and abstraction, researchers can reveal the deep connection and internal logic between phenomena and provide a more comprehensive and profound understanding of the world.
The process of knowledge generation is not only the integration of existing data and information, but also the assumption and abstraction, which endows the observation results with complete semantics, thus forming systematic understanding and rules. This knowledge structure can not only explain phenomena, but also predict future behaviors and characteristics, providing a deeper understanding and guidance to the world.
10 Dynamic verification and correction of knowledge
The process of knowledge generation is a dynamic process, which involves how cognitive subjects relate different DIKWP content semantics through assumptions and high-level cognitive activities to form new knowledge semantics. In the cognitive space, this process includes not only the re-semantic combination and transformation of known DIKWP content, but also the generation of new cognitive understanding and knowledge semantics through this re-combination and transformation.
This dynamic nature is reflected in the process of knowledge generation and updating. Through continuous observation, learning and verification, cognitive subjects can form and improve a systematic knowledge structure. This knowledge structure can not only explain phenomena, but also predict future behaviors and characteristics, providing a deeper understanding and guidance to the world.

14.1 Professor Yucong Duan's DIKWP model: the definition of three spaces
Definition: Conceptual space is a space for cognitive subjects to communicate and recognize through natural language, symbols and other forms. In this space, data, information and knowledge exist as concrete concepts and are expressed through semantic networks and concept maps.
Function: Help cognitive subjects to classify and organize specific facts and observations, and form systematic understanding and rules.
14.1.2 Semantic Space (semantic space)
Definition: Semantic space is the space where cognitive subjects understand and deal with the internal semantic relations of concepts. In this space, cognitive subjects understand and generate new knowledge through semantic matching, association and transformation.
Function: to form new semantic relations through semantic matching and association, so as to generate and verify knowledge.
14.1.3 Cognitive Space (cognitive space)
Definition: Cognitive space is the internal psychological space for cognitive subjects to think, learn and understand. In this space, cognitive subjects form a profound understanding and explanation of the world through cognitive activities such as observation, hypothesis, abstraction and verification.
Function: Transform data and information into systematic knowledge through high-level cognitive activities, and constantly improve and update knowledge in the process of dynamic verification and correction.
