Abstract: Knowledge is intrinsically related to data and information. This association became evident with the advent of computers. However, people still struggle to achieve unambiguous understanding of relations between these concepts. There is a huge diversity of judgments on this topic. Many papers and books present views of their authors on such relations. Some works reflect points of view of different authors. For instance, 130 definitions of data, information, and knowledge formulated by 45 scholars are collected in (Zins, 2007). A variety of approaches to this problem is also described in the book (Burgin, 2010)…
