Abstract

Introduces a concept for measuring the quantity of information an an organized system. The information content of an organizes information system can be measured on the basis of the information units present in the system and the way the information is structured. A unit of information can be defined as 'any idea or data present with all its parameters necessary and sufficient to comprehend it'. A term INFON is coined to denote the unit of information. This concept of an organized information system can be extended to a technical document to measure the quantity of technical information in the document
