NATURE OF KNOWLEDGE Reality is that quality of the universe which exists
independent of the sentient observer.
Perception is the information conveyed to the observerthrough the senses or indirectly through interpretations ofmeasured or sensed data.
Conception is the correlation and generalization ofperceptions which exists in the mind of the observer.
Knowledge consists of the collection of perceptions andconceptions. The knowledge is clearly not reality. It is only a
model of reality. For Ex: what a chair looks like to us, what itfeels like to sit in, and what its function is. However, ourknowledge is not the chair. The more we perceive andconceive about the chair, the better is our model of the chair.Therefore, knowledge is not real; it is illusion.

Data is raw. It simply exists and has no significancebeyond its existence. It can exist in any form, usableor not. It does not have meaning of itself. Incomputer parlance, a spreadsheet generally startsout by holding data.
Information is data that has been given meaning byway of relational connection. This "meaning" can beuseful, but does not have to be. In computerparlance, a relational database makes informationfrom the data stored within it.
Knowledge is the appropriate collection ofinformation, such that it's intent is to be useful.
