Knowledge is comprehension. Knowledge, as applied to a term, is the set of attributes implied by the term. The comprehension of 'square' includes being 4-sided, having equal sides and being a plane figure. This set of attributes constitites a pattern.

Knowledge requires patterns to hold it; cultural,religious, scientific, certain brain structures. Patterns are containers for knowledge, they shape it. How many stones are their in a field? Raw data( including unconscious knowledge) is information as it is gathered, epistemic knowledge. Everyone observes the same thing. Human perception is itself said to interpret information. At the unconscious level, this info could be called knowledge.

On the conscious level, there is interpretation. Conscious knowledge is the knowledge we talk about, it is linguistic knowledge. It is usually the knowledge we speak of as being true or false. For some, everything larger than two feet is a stone, not a rock. I know there are stones and rocks in the field. Knowledge is what is true for us, until it is'nt. So you could say knowledge is belief, because everything you think you "know," you believe.
