Abstract
The technologies providing connectivity, storage, communication bandwidths and graphics user interfacing continue to improve. Security and privacy are being comprehensively addressed. Middleware, integrated development environments, visual tools, and componentry enable more sophisticated applications and interconnectivity over diverse computing environments. This enables better data transfer capability. But what about information?
