I define knowledge as useful information.

Knowing what some guy had for lunch last year, while technically
knowledge, does very little in the way of usefulness.

I define useful knowledge as information that allows critical
thinking and analysis, as well as information that allows the solving
of real world problems (supply chain management, solving crime,
managing market economies, etc)
