Introduction

“knowledge is neither data nor information, though it related to both, and the differences between these terms are often a matter of degree”. (Davenport danprusak, 1998)
•Data : set of discrete, objective facts about events.
•Information :data that makes a difference
•Knowledge: the concise and appropriate collection of information in a way that makes it useful .
•Wisdom : the judicious theory and application of knowledge. It is a deep understanding and realization of people, things, events or situations, resulting in the ability to apply perceptions, judgement sand actions in keeping with this understanding.

•Information refers to the data that has been given some meaning, by way of a relational connection.
•It is important to note that without information, you can never have knowledge.
•You need information to be able to get knowledge.

“INFORMATION IS NOT KNOWLEDGE UNTIL AND UNLESS IT IS APPLIED EFFECTIVELY “
