John Wilkins - Knowledge, Understanding & Epistemic Communities

John sees knowledge as a relationship between the knower, the things known and the epistemic community - similarly, understanding.
Clifford Stoll paraphrasing Frank Zappa - "Data is not information, information is not knowledge, knowledge is not understanding, and understanding is not wisdom."
To what extent is knowledge or understanding contextualized by containing communities, technologies, environment, & the affordances it gives us as a community?
What is the relationship between knowledge & understanding? Can we understand the phenomenon of understanding?
Relatedly, see John's '50 words for snow, or conceptual confusion' sequence of posts :
1. Conceptual confusion: evolvingthough...
2. The economics of cultural categories: evolvingthough...
3. What are phenomena?: evolvingthough...
4. What counts as sociocultural?: evolvingthough...
5. Species: evolvingthough...
6. Constructing phenomena: evolvingthough...
7. Explanations and phenomena: evolvingthough...
