| The result is termed the Cognitive Model instead of the original DIKW (or DIKUW) Hierarchy for a several reasons.

| The simple Bottom-Up Cognitive Model example presented in Figure {{ref>BottomUp}} illustrates how bottom-up cognition applies in our lives, usually as part of analytical processes. It is bottom-up because the process described starts with Data and ends with Wisdom. At the Cognitive Data Layer, a temperature of 100° means little. Adding that the temperature is in degrees Fahrenheit provides a bit more data; however, it still has little relevance until the temperature is put in the context of a person’s temperature and becomes Information. Adding that information with other information like the normal temperature for a person is 98.6° Fahrenheit starts to provide us some Knowledge of the situation. This knowledge, combined with other knowledge, allows us to understand that the person has flu. The final step is adding this knowledge with what we already know about the individual allowing a decision that the temperature is not serious and that the solution is to take two aspirin and call the doctor in the morning if symptoms persist. In reality, there is more data than information, more information than knowledge, etc. | The simple Bottom-Up Cognitive Model example presented in Figure {{ref>BottomUp}} illustrates how bottom-up cognition applies in our lives, usually as part of analytical processes.

| The simple Top-Down Cognitive Model example presented in Figure {{ref>TopDown}} illustrates how top-up cognition applies in our lives, usually as part of educational or regulatory processes. It is top-down because the process described starts with Wisdom and ends with Data. At the Cognitive Wisdom Layer, there needs to be a uniform policy to protect people at risk from influenza. To support this policy (i.e., Wisdom), there are many different kinds of things to understand, such as people can be immunized against flu. As a part of the Understanding, there is Knowledge that vaccines are made from eggs. This leads to the need to disseminate Information that people who are allergic to eggs can not use the vaccine and ultimately the collection of Data (i.e., evaluation criteria) about egg allergies from people receiving the vaccine. | The simple Top-Down Cognitive Model example presented in Figure {{ref>TopDown}} illustrates how top-up cognition applies in our lives, usually as part of educational or regulatory processes.
