stands for information complex, the compound of data, processes and interaction.
Information complex has 3 facets:
- where is the data,
- is it indexed and queryable,
- is there an interface to access the information.
Quality aspects:
- @1: can the data be enriched/combined with other data?
- @2: can cross-queries take place?
- @3: timeliness, ease of access, what kind of output, machine/human readable
Data Cycles: Output of one information process may be input to another. @3 → @1
