3. Information

Information is data that has been processed in such a way as to be meaningful to the person who receives it.

 

 

INFORMATION = DATA + CONTEXT + MEANING

 

 

Example of Information

Data 21041926 This has no meaning or context
Context It is a British date This allows us to register it as 21st April 1926 It still has no meaning and is therefore not information
Meaning The Birth date of Queen Elizabeth II This gives us all the elements required for it to be called 'information'
