OK, I'll do that if you stop mercilessly torturing the word "knowledge" in
that "loose" phrase:-)

In one sense, Amazon, for example, places a book in multiple planes (similar
books, popularity in companies/countries, rank, favorites' lists, affinity
with other purchasable items, etc) that together anchor it in "a larger,
more general, context." And that's perhaps the main point of both selling
and customer appreciation at the Amazon site.
