Information Resources are things which can be entirely and completely encoded as bits and then transmitted over a network. They can be copied, perfectly. They can be serialized. They are pure information. (Another name I suggested for this class was "Digital Artifact", but the TAG went with "Information Resource" instead.) That, it seems to me, is a fairly crisp and useful class to define when talking about computer systems like the Web. -- SandroReceived on Tuesday, 24 July 2007 13:42:42 UTC
