Abstract


The search for an adequate concept of information has been a constant theme in the theoretical studies carried out within the lnformation Science field. The proposals made can be grouped in two large sets: those that consider information as something physical and objective and those that see it as something cognitive and subjective. Some of the most outstanding examples from both trends are examined. Spécial attention is paid to the proposals from the second group due to their relevance.
