"Vital Definition: Information. A definition suitable for both technology and business use. What guidelines should we give for development of a definition?
One, any definition should point out how information is different from data, and fundamentally so.
Two, it should be accessible to and meaningful for the average person.
Three, while it may concern how structures in software are developed, it should be independent of and transcendent of structures.
The objective is to raise the technology to the level of the definition. Not to lower the bar until any and every technology developed automatically qualifies.
A suitable definition would seem to rule out technology built around data being indistinguishable from and interchangeable with technology built around information. Or that data technology would simply turn into information technology over time in the absence of a clear idea how the two differ. You can find a model here."
(...what possible trouble could there be with information? i've got this here, "vital definition thingy", to ward off any, so-called, trouble...jim)
