“…Peirce introduced his new definition of Information in the 1867 paper 'Upon Logical Extension and Comprehension' [3]. He used the newly defined term to clarify the two concepts named in the title, after reviewing the sometimes confused and divergent uses of those terms by earlier logicians.…”

“…Information is a concept that cannot be divorced from such a logical concern." The original 1867 paper [3] which introduced Peirce's new definition of 'information' began by examining the long-established logical concepts of 'extension and comprehension' and the various names applied to them over the centuries. Peirce declared his own preference for Hamilton's terms breadth and depth respectively.…”

“…Thus, "wide" learning is, in ordinary parlance, learning of many things; "deep" learning, much knowledge of some things' [3] (p. 74). But in order to define them with the exactitude needed for technical terms, he had to introduce the concept of information [3] (p. 79):…”

“…To this end, we will follow up on a train of thought launched by C.S. Peirce in 1867 [3], when he formally defined a concept of information which served him well through the rest of his career as a logician, especially in his pioneering work on semiotics.…”

Abstract:In an early paper on logic, C.S. Peirce defined a concept of 'information' very different from the later conceptions which gave rise to 'information science', and indirectly to current problems such as an overload of 'useless information'. A study of further developments in Peircean semiotics, and in related conceptual frameworks including the cybernetics of Bateson and the cybersemiotics of Brier, reveals deep relations between Peirce's concept of information and the irreducibly triadic nature of signs. Since all sciences, indeed all cognition and communication, are semiotic processes, the core semiotic principle implicit in the Peircean concept may clarify how our uses of language and other symbolic media can actually inform-and thus transform-the way we humans inhabit the biosphere.

The field of Information Science is constantly changing. Therefore, information scientists are required to regularly review-and if necessary-redefine its fundamental building blocks. This article is one of a group of four articles, which resulted from a Critical Delphi study conducted in 2003-2005. The study, "Knowledge Map of Information Science," was aimed at exploring the foundations of information science. The international panel was composed of 57 leading scholars from 16 countries, who represent (almost) all the major subfields and important aspects of the field. This particular article documents 130 definitions of data, information, and knowledge formulated by 45 scholars, and maps the major conceptual approaches for defining these three key concepts.
