I think that information relates more to the published knowledge of others whereas knowledge is the personal understanding of a subject that can be published in some form to become information to everyone else.

I think the difference between information and knowledge is that information is something you can find somewhere, such as in a book or on the internet. Knowledge is something that you retain in your brain after you have acquired said information.

Information is gained from text. Knowledge is obtained from hands-on experience.

I think the the difference between information and knowledge is that information is something that someone or something teaches you, and knowledge is the understating that you have on a subject.
