Hi Avinash.
Your thought direction is correct. I shall only be adding to it. The 'Contextualization' that you are refering to is called 'Taxonomization' in KM practice. KNowledge is a tertiary derivative of the basic unit - Data. First comes Data, then Information(data clustered) and then comes KNowledge (information or packets of information with a context or perspective)
In order to achieve true Taxonomization in KM practice we need to understand and concieve three things.
A)The Industry in which the Knowledge is being handled and
B)Organization's individual treatment of data, information, and knowledge(in other words the Business Process of the organization in question) and
C)Attitude of the Management of the organization in question in relation to the non-mamagement personnel of the organization.

Only when these three things are comprehended will there be a holistic solution to implement and see the results of KM.

Hope I did not add to your confusion.
