A Multiscale Taxonomy of Information in the World
Book chapter, 2020

We construct a multiscale multi-aspect taxonomy of information. This taxonomy is a unified system of aspect taxonomies of information, the majority of which are developed by the authors while others are suggested by other researchers. Each aspect taxonomy reflects some aspect of information representing modes of this aspect. In such a way, information is represented in a multidimensional parametric space. This representation has several goals: to support conceptual analysis of information, allow better utilization of information in the domain of cognition, to enable improvement of efficiency of information processing systems, such as search engines, and to provide better methodological approaches to information.
