"NM suggested that Claude Shannon's work on information theory might provide a suitable definition" -- http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2004/10/05-07-tag#infores2 I'm still not to the point where I understand well enough to cite Shannon's work, I think I know what the canonical work is now: "It is generally believed that the modern discipline of information theory began with the publication of Shannon's article "The Mathematical Theory of Communication" in the Bell System Technical Journal in July and October of 1948." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_theory I'm slowly swapping in that part of wikipedia. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/Received on Friday, 15 October 2004 22:46:59 GMT
