Data, Information, Knowledge

................................................. Data is single entity. Alone it doesn't exist. This data is manipulated in a particular way ,which is understandable for the people. At this time it becomes information.

....................................Knowledge
is understanding of a specific subject, and also capability of applying it whenever it matters . Knowledge is gaind from experince also . From education, we all are getting knowledge.By applying it ,we are getting the experince of the knowledge. I think knowledge and the experince are two points connecting a line.

............................................I believe that data as a single have nothing. But to represent the data we need knowledge.To convert data to information, we need something. And for that knowledge is used. At first my understanding about the KID relationship was linear.But I don't think in that way. Although there is a linearity between them, from one state to the other knowledge plays an important part. And he relation may be cyclic. The view of data,information and knowledge differs in nature. For a person data will act as information, which is knowledge for the other.

............................................So its all connected. Its not possible to create a boundary between them
