This document discusses the definition, types, nature, properties, and scope of information. It begins by discussing information as part of a knowledge spectrum including data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. It then outlines several disciplines centered around the study of information, including electrical engineering, computer science, the physical and biological sciences, behavioral sciences, social sciences, philosophy, linguistics, library and information science, and information science and technology. The document also briefly discusses information theory as proposed by Shannon and Weaver. It presents information transfer as flowing from a source to a message to a channel to a receiver. Finally, it notes that while information has no single universally accepted definition, its types and properties depend on the information transfer process.
