Abstract:

Fundamental forms of information, as well as the term
information itself, are defined and developed for the
purposes of information science/studies. Concepts of
natural and represented information (taking an unconventional
sense of representation), encoded and embodied
information, as well as experienced, enacted,
expressed, embedded, recorded, and trace information
are elaborated. The utility of these terms for the discipline
is illustrated with examples from the study of information-
seeking behavior and of information genres.
Distinctions between the information and curatorial
sciences with respect to their social (and informational)
objects of study are briefly outlined.
