Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom 0.1 a photo by MichaelKreil on Flickr.

This image represents to me what is happening in online publishing today. This was explored in the article by Steve Busfield when he argues that newspaper companies like The New York Times should not turn away from openly sharing content on their sites. I think that this is a valid point as the illustration points out; the more information that is made openly available through publishing the more wisdom people will be able to acquire.
