Abstract
The paper explores, in a semiotics approach, the natures and the relationships between the category of information and its relatives that are data and knowledge. The resultant process model makes clear both the evolutionary natures and the triadic relation among the information categories. In addition, drawn on Peirce’s theory of inquiry which stresses the role of community along the inquiring process, a central thesis of the paper is the pragmatic model of information formulation in the information systems field.
