Peng

what does information mean to you for your discipline and what you do?

Tim: Ocean perspective: Products derived from data that lead to a greater understanding of an entity (UN 2020). Examples: (i) the interpretation of a range of data from an array of conductivity sensors across the Arctic Ocean that informs us about that ocean’s salinity range; or (ii) the narrative text of a report on harmful algal blooms that informs the reader on the timing of these blooms. Peng: --> Scientific information?

William: Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom. It defines Information as "Data plus context", and distinguishes information from data as being "organised, structured, categorised, useful, condensed, calculated".  Examples: i) apply a pattern categorisation approach to daily/monthly rainfall totals to define statistics and patterns using, for instance, compositing or empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis. ii) Others: analyses, reports, procedural manuals, forecasts and warnings, seasonal predictions and climate change projections, process documentation, computer code, inventories, algorithms.
