Author: Charles Hayes:



The term information system has the

following meanings: An information

system consists of three components:

1. Human:

2. Technology:

3. Organization.

In this view, information is defined

in terms of the three levels of semiotics.

1. Data which can be automatically processed

by the application system corresponds to

the syntax-level.

2. In the context of an individual who

interprets the data they become

information, which correspond to the

semantic-level.

3. Information becomes knowledge when

an individual knows (understands)

and evaluates the information (e.g.,

or a specific task). This corresponds

to the pragmatic-level.

In general systems theory, an information

system is a system, automated or manual,

that comprises people, machines, and/or

methods organized to collect, process,

transmit, and disseminate data that

represent user information.
