1. A thing that conveys meaning. 2. Meaning that is intended. 3. Meaning that is received. Information is both tangible and intangible. It is a thing (like a document, a statement, or a video). It is also the meaning that the thing conveys as well as the meaning that is received. Sometimes it’s a thing to be manipulated (in information science, we call that an “information object”), and sometimes it’s an experience.
