This paper begins with defining data, information, knowledge, and wisdom and proposes an architecture for managing knowledge (which is different from managing information). This architecture helps us to develop different perspectives, not just patterns and relationships. An example is presented of a group that used this approach to build a sustainability framework. The twenty-first century is going to be about creating pathways to a sustainable future. Creating a shared understanding of what data, information, knowledge, and wisdom mean to us and how they interrelate enables us to define and move along those pathways. Applying our model of knowledge architecture from a position of values, principles, and beliefs will allow us to evolve a deeper understanding of what a sustainable future could mean to us and how we can pursue it. The framework presented contains essential ingredients to be explored in building our future: 'We struggle between the 1% of what we know, 1% of what we don't know but rarely come across the 98% of what we don't know that we don't know'. (Buckminster Fuller, full details not available)
