I was forwarded the following link that deals with definitions for various KM concepts.

Data, Information, Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom are defined separately according to Ackoff, however the author of the article below considers understanding to not be a level but the x-axis, a measuring tool that separates the other four. I didn't delve much deeper than that (and the article probably doesn't say much more than that). I didn't find anything to disagree with.
