An information refiner demonstrates the capacity to translate abstract information into physical form, manage that information throughout a complex process, and generate multifaceted business value.
Information refinement can be viewed as a process of managing information, from the initial pattern to the final product. The information refinement is to gather, organize, and apply various types of information throughout the project to capture its true value for improving decision effectiveness.
Pattern comprehension: The information knitter must first understand the knitting pattern, which contains coded information about the stitches, techniques, and structure of the final piece. This requires translating the written or charted instructions into a mental model of the knitted fabric.
Information encoding: As the informant works through the pattern row-by-row, they encode the information into the physical yarn, creating a tangible representation of the original instructions. Each stitch is a unit of information that contributes to the overall structure.
Information retrieval: The informant must be able to retrieve information about their current position in the pattern and the state of the knitted fabric. This allows them to make decisions about which stitches to perform next and how to maintain the integrity of the piece.
Information sharing: The informants often share information through patterns, tutorials, and social interactions. Online communities and groups facilitate the exchange of knitting knowledge and the collaborative creation of projects.
Information preservation: Completed information refinement projects can be seen as a physical record of the information management process. The final piece preserves the knitter's choices, creativity, and journey throughout the project.
Knowledge management: Experienced informant develop a repertoire of knowledge, including stitch patterns, techniques, and troubleshooting strategies. They can draw upon this knowledge to adapt patterns, fix mistakes, and create new designs.
From an information management perspective, an information refiner demonstrates the capacity to translate abstract information into physical form, manage that information throughout a complex process, generate multifaceted business value, and create unique artifacts that communicate meaning and tell stories.
