   Information that has no potential next action associated but that
   still has potential reference value and that you'd like to keep
   around, how and where do you keep it ?

For that purpose I use an org file called ref.org with the following
structure:

  --- begin of ref.org
  -*- mode: org -*-

  * 0                              :REF0:
  * 1                              :REF1:
  ...
  * A                              :REFA:
  * B                              :REFB:
  ...
  * Z                              :REFZ:
  --- end of ref.org

The second-level headers are then the knowledge entries.  To see the
entries in the agenda I use the following custom:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands '( ... other entries ...
                                   ("r0" tags "+REF0" nil)
                                   ...
                                   ("ra" tags "+REFA" nil)
                                   ("rb" tags "+REFB" nil)
                                   ...
                                   ("rz" tags "+REFZ" nil)))

                           
Then I can use C-aC-cr<LETTER>, where C-aC-c is the agenda command in
my system and LETTER is the letter (or digit) I want to see the
entries for.

It is not very sophisticated, but it works nicely for me :)
