200 - Data, Information, Knowledge are all along the same continuum in my mind.
Data - is a set of values of qualitative or quantitative variables about one or more persons or objects, while a datum (singular of data) is a single value of a single variable.
Information is data that has been made meaningful through contextualization and understanding.
Knowledge is information that has become a memory or set of memories within an individual.
