Like any object, information has properties. A characteristic distinctive feature of information from other objects of nature and society is dualism : the properties of information are influenced both by the properties of the source data that make up its content, and by the properties of the methods that record this information. From the point of view of computer science, the following general qualitative properties seem to be the most important: objectivity, reliability, completeness, accuracy, relevance, usefulness, value, timeliness, understandability, accessibility, brevity, etc.

    Objectivity of information . Objective – existing outside and independently of human consciousness. Information is a reflection of the external objective world. Information is objective if it does not depend on the methods of its recording, anyone’s opinion, or judgment.

Example. Let's compare two concepts such as information and energy, let's say thermal. Let's ask two different people to estimate the room temperature. One person may say that he is hot, but another person is quite happy with this temperature regime. People's opinions about room temperature are subjective. If we measure the temperature using a device, in this case a thermometer, then we will receive an objective assessment that does not depend on someone else’s opinion. It’s the same with information.

Objective information can be obtained, for example, using working sensors and measuring instruments. Reflected in the consciousness of a particular person, information ceases to be objective, since it is transformed (to a greater or lesser extent) depending on the opinion, judgment, experience, and knowledge of a particular subject.

    Reliability of information . Information is reliable if it reflects the true state of affairs. Objective information is always reliable, but reliable information can be both objective and subjective. Reliable information helps us make the right decision. Information may be inaccurate for the following reasons:

    intentional distortion (misinformation) or unintentional distortion of a subjective property;

    distortion as a result of interference (“damaged phone”) and insufficiently accurate means of fixing it.

Availability of information: A measure of the possibility of obtaining this or that information. The degree of information availability is influenced simultaneously by both the availability of data and the availability of adequate methods.

Completeness of information . Information can be called complete if it is sufficient for understanding and making decisions. Incomplete information may lead to an erroneous conclusion or decision.

Accuracy (adequacy) of information is determined by the degree of its proximity to the real state of an object, process, phenomenon, etc. Characterizes the degree of correspondence to the real objective state. Inadequate information can arise when new information is created based on incomplete or unreliable data.

Good Data + Inadequate Methods = Inadequate Information

  1. Relevance of information – importance for the present time, topicality, urgency. Only timely information received can be useful. Reliable and adequate outdated information is irrelevant.

    Usefulness (value) of information . Utility can be assessed in relation to the needs of its specific consumers and is assessed by those tasks that can be solved with its help.

The most valuable information is objective, reliable, complete, and up-to-date. It should be taken into account that biased, unreliable information (for example, fiction) is of great significance for a person. Social (public) information also has additional properties:

    has a semantic (notional) character, i.e. conceptual, since it is in concepts that the most essential features of objects, processes and phenomena of the surrounding world are generalized.

    has a linguistic nature (except for some types of aesthetic information, for example, fine art). The same content can be expressed in different natural (spoken) languages, written in the form of mathematical formulas, etc.

Over time, the amount of information grows, information accumulates, it is systematized, evaluated and generalized. This property is called growth and accumulation information.

Information aging is the decrease in its value over time. It is not time itself that ages information, but the emergence of new information that clarifies, supplements or rejects, in whole or in part, earlier information. Scientific and technical information ages faster, aesthetic information (works of art) - slower.

Logicality, compactness, convenient form of presentation facilitates understanding and assimilation of information.
