Information is knowledge perceived. That is, what is contained in documents is potential information—it is recorded knowledge that may be consulted for whatever reason. But when that knowledge is consulted and is perceived by the human brain, information is the result …. Information is a process and not a thing. Information therefore, is dynamic and not static. Information is what happens to a person when knowledge is perceived, because that new perception alters the person’s previously existing knowledge-base. (Smiraglia 2014, 11)

Information – “something received or obtained through informing” (Svenonius 2000, 7).
