\section{Introduction}

\subsection[Definitions]{Definitions}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Definitions}
\begin{definition}[Data]
Anything in a form suitable for use with a computer
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}[Information]
A collection of data which possesses some degree of utility, meaning or value
\end{definition}
\end{frame}

\subsection[Current state]{The information paradox}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{The information paradox}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Do you really know exactly what information you collected and where you
  stored it ??
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Storage}

\begin{itemize}
  \item Storage locations
  \begin{itemize}
        \item Local Computer
        \item Local Network
        \item Websites
        \item Portable Media players
        \item Mobile phones
        \item \ldots
  \end{itemize}
  \item Low storage price, no need to
  \begin{itemize}
        \item Clean up working areas
        \item Maintain, and index information stored
  \end{itemize}
  
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{The 3 degrees of information}

\begin{itemize}
  \item Value
  \begin{itemize}
    \item Does the information you stored still have some value?
  \end{itemize}
  \item Meaning
  \begin{itemize}
    \item Can you tell from the file what it means to you?
  \end{itemize}
  \item Utility
  \begin{itemize}
    \item What is the use of the information stored?
  \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{The paradox}

\begin{itemize}
  \item After asking yourself these questions
  \begin{itemize}
    \item The amount of information stored is huge
    \item Meaning, value and utility can only be evaluated by looking at the
    information again
  \end{itemize}
  \item Conclusion
  \begin{itemize}
    \item The vast amount of information, renders it unstructured
    \item Too much ``information'' is data
  \end{itemize}
  
\end{itemize}

\end{frame}

    \item Use open standards for accessing this information
    \begin{itemize}
      \item WSDL ( Web Service Description Language)
