Dear respected Md. Abdur Rashid,

Information is the master of knowledge. If you have knowledge and you are not informed you are no where. When you are informed you applied knowledge to succeed. Information moves you closer to success and knowledge is the finisher to success. Both are required in the success process.

Best regards. Kifilideen.

Of course knowledge !

Dear respected Md. Abdur Rashid,

Information is the master of knowledge. If you have knowledge and you are not informed you are no where. When you are informed you applied knowledge to succeed. Information moves you closer to success and knowledge is the finisher to success. Both are required in the success process.

Best regards. Kifilideen.

Knowledge

In my own opinion, thy are both interlinked. You need information to be knowlegable. Knowledge gathering is the result of the amount of information you were exposed.

Information. When you have assess to information, you have assess to the key to unlock secret doors to obtain knowledge, understanding, success, prosperity, honour and respect.

Knowledge ideally requires thinking and evaluation of information which theoretically makes it more powerful.

Information

In order to understand the difference between knowledge and information we need to rank these two concepts in a hierarchy of meaning.

If we start with the poem by the journalist Rudyard Kipling that begins as follows:-

I keep six honest serving-men, (They taught me all I knew);

Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who.

With these six questions Kipling captures the essence of any journalist’s (and also any scientist’s) report.

What happened? Why did it happen? When did it occur? How and Where did it happen and Who was involved?

For a scientific report it is easy to answer the question Who? First there is you the author and then there are the authorities that your report references.

Next we have the question of When? Precedence is critical in science, and even now it worries me how many report documents are produced without a chronological date stamp.

Then we have the questions How & Where? This is the methodology used in your investigation, the means by which you acquired and where you collected data.

What happened? Is the result of your experiment.

The question why is answered by the consequence of your choice of variables used in the experiment. Why did the retort explode? Because the pressure was too high!

Now let us create our hierarchy of meaning:-

The first level is data. Data are numbers. What is the value of the variable you measured?

Ordered tables of data are a resource which we can explore by either by producing graphs -adding the time variable when, or by creating maps - adding the location variable where. Graphs and maps are the information that is formed from organised data.

The next level in the hierarchy is knowledge. Knowledge is a set of information gathered together into a coherent order. The library is the place where you go to gain knowledge.

Wisdom forms the pinnacle of the hierarchy of meaning. Wisdom is the distilled knowledge of the ages. In order to become wise you must study the past (those who do not know history are condemned to repeat it). With this knowledge you will be able to answer the one question that Kipling did not list in his poem. That is the question of choice. Which decision should I make (action should I take) in order to achieve success or just as important which are the actions that lead to failure and so I must avoid doing?

The guru is the master of knowledge who embodies wisdom.

Knowledge. Perhaps one thing I might recommend people read is: rational, realistic Buddhism (see: https://mynichecomp.com ).

Dear respected Kenneth M Towe, I appreciate your answer: when information is gathered then knowledge is applied.

The term "knowledge" has a long history of what people rely on, or over-rely on, as immutable. It will be interesting to see what the term "information" comes out to be down the centuries.

Both are indispensable. But you need informatiom to build up the knowledge. So I believe information could come first

Information is part of Knowledge, as one gathers or spreads information based on the knowledge he/she possess and hence Knowledge is more powerful.

Knowledge gained by correct information

Information contributes toward knowledge and knowledge contributes toward decision(s). The decision(s) may ask for more information.

Information contributes toward knowledge and knowledge contributes toward decision(s). The decision(s) may ask for more information.

You need knowledge to unlock information. Information enhance and strengthen knowledge. Both are indispensable.
