Distinction between information and knowledge

Word Count : 758

The terms are sometimes mistakenly used interchangeably when in reality there is a clear distinction between the two. The major and fundamental difference between data and information is the meaning and value attributed to each one. Data is meaningless in itself, but once processed and interpreted, it becomes information which is filled with meaning.

To put it into context, think of data as any series of random numbers and words that hold no meaning whatsoever. For example:

4a 61 6e 65 20 44 6f 65 2c 0a 34 20 53 74 72 65 65 74 2c 0a 44 61 6c 6c 61 73 2c 20 54 58 20 39 38 31 37 34 0a

Once the aforementioned data is processed, interpreted, formatted, and organized, you can see that it is the contact information of Jane Doe:

Jane Doe,
4 Street,
Dallas, TX 98174
