This to Heart:
“The difference between theory and practice is that, in theory, there is no difference.”
Webster's first definition of information is “the communication or reception of knowledge or intelligence,” though his second definition is closer to: “facts, data.”
Of knowledge, Webster says, “the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association.”
Information consists of mere facts and data, essentially descriptive or documentary in nature and holding no intrinsic meaning. Knowledge, on the other hand, is the casting of that data into a meaningful context, which is far more useful.
Knowledge is obtained by drawing on perspective and experience to enable inference, extrapolation, deduction, and intuition, among other interpretive processes. This knowledge is to be applied productively (hopefully), resulting in an understanding of the significance of the information presented.
