Information and knowledge are related concepts, but they are not the same thing. Information refers to data, facts, or details that are available, often in a raw or unprocessed form. Knowledge, on the other hand, is the understanding and awareness that one gains through the interpretation, organization, and assimilation of information. In other words, knowledge is derived from information when it is processed, contextualized, and applied by a person. So, while information is a foundation for knowledge, they are distinct in their nature and usage.
