    According to Buckland, the term “information” had traditionally three meanings, one of them “used attributively for objects, such as data and documents, that are referred to as ‘information’ because they are regarded as being informative”, and that this specific meaning “appears to be becoming commoner” in “the practice of referring to communications, databases, books, and the like, as ‘information’”. Information as a thing is what any field dealing with information systems deals with. Buckland, M. K. (1991). Information as thing. Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 42(5), 351–360. https://doi.org/10.1002/(sici)1097-4571(199106)42:5%3c351::aid-asi5%3e3.0.co;2-3.
