本文简要介绍了“信息”一词及其不同含义，这既重要又困难，因为该术语的不同含义隐含着整个知识理论。文章进一步思考了“信息”与“物质与能量”、“数据”、“符号与意义”、“知识”、“通信”等概念之间的关系。它介绍和分析了信息在信息研究和知识组织中的影响，并对“信息需求”、“信息过载”和“信息检索”等一些复合术语进行了介绍和批判性分析，阐明了信息术语在信息研究中的使用。附录提供了按时间顺序排列的信息定义列表。
This article presents a brief history of the term “information” and its different meanings, which are both important and difficult because the different meanings of the term imply whole theories of knowledge. The article further considers the relation between “information” and the concepts “matter and energy”, “data”, “sign and meaning”, “knowledge” and “communication”. It presents and analyses the influence of information in information studies and knowledge organization and contains a presentation and critical analysis of some compound terms such as “information need”, “information overload” and “information retrieval”, which illuminate the use of the term information in information studies. An appendix provides a chronological list of definitions of information.
