This definition can be applied to information of every kind, level and complexity. Information is considered as the feature manifesting itself in the relations between certain real world<br />entities. The real world has to be seen in terms of objects, actions, relations and properties.. The defintion is used as the basis of the Theory of Meaningful Information [1] that explains the nature and functionality of information and enables the production of relevant definitions regarding language and knowledge, which remain operative also in the case of non-human languages and<br />knowledge systems.
