Title

Definitions and sciences of information

Source

Information processing and management. 24(1988), S.479-491

Year

1988

Abstract

This article clarifies the idea of information by dividing the whole range of its definitions into different parts and by identifying several points of misunderstanding. it explores the sciences relating to the concept to information by classifying sciences in terms of their relevance to different ranges of information definitions and by distinguishing the relationship among them. The nomenclatures of informatics, informatology, information science, and information sciences are discussed in particular. The multidimensional properties of the concept "information" and the multidimensional relationships of the relevant sciences are illustrated with diagrams
