It's been called both. Recent discussion of the issue starting
http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/od-discuss/2013-February/000317.html
seems to have preferred leaving Knowledge out. It is something that
needs to be settled before we finalize and make some noise about O[K]D
1.2 (mail on that forthcoming, really).

Additional feedback on the issue welcome!
