Data as Information.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dolby, James L. – Information Processing and Management, 1984
Suggests structure based on two sets of principles for deriving meaning from data: Shannon's measure of entropy, which provides means of measuring amount of information in message; and Ranganathan's faceted classification scheme, which provides means of determining number of meaningful data. Syntax, meaning, and semantics of data are discussed.…

The Basic Entity Model: A Fundamental Theoretical Model of Information and Information Processing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Thow-Yick, Liang – Information Processing and Management, 1994
Identifies a set of objects that is genuinely indigenous to management information systems and constructs a simple model based on them. The model's four basic entities, which define the scope of information theory, are data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. (Contains 46 references.) (KRN)
