It is generated by a human or a machine in the current contextual situation and is linked to a concept in the human mind or a set of operations of a machine. An information item delivers the sense or the idea that a human mind extracts out of a given natural language proposition that contains meaningful data items. Since the given tangible, intangible and temporal context are part of the explanation of a data item, a change of context can have an effect on the meaning of data and the sense of a proposition. \n                \n                \u003cbr\u003e\n                                The DIT model provides a framework to show how the flow of time can change the truth-value of a proposition. This book compares our notions of data, information, and time in differing contexts: in human communication, in the operation of a computer system and in a biological system. In the final Section a few simple examples demonstrate how the lessons learned from the DIT-model can help to improve the design of a computer system. \n            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783030963286\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe DIT Model\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783030963286","offer_id":39946916397149,"sku":"9783030963286","price":53.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/5427b0c9-3563-475f-9b9d-e86a31ead020.jpg?v=1779855464","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/data-information-and-time-von-hermann-kopetz","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
