I have to lean in Michael's direction. I would venture to say that
knowledge is something that happens in a person's mind. Information is
something that you store in a database. Such information may help to
create knowledge, but I have yet to see a database system that does
anything more 'knowledgeable' than store and manipulate symbols.
