  (BOOTCAMP)

  1. Concept and Information:

  The representation theory of mind proposes that concepts are in some form or

  other mental representations. While, the semantic theory of concepts describe

  them abstract or intangible objects. A concept is endowed with certain necessary

  and sufficient conditions in their description. However, the pre-concept has no

  strcutures, at its origin a concept may be abstracted from several percaptions.

  In simple words a concept in a cognitive unit of measuring conceptual ideas or

  mental symbol defined as a unit of information (knowledge), often classified as

  posteriori or priori unqualified enviable objects artciulating information

  design and architecture, limiting to a business concept.

  2. Objective:

  At this stage and point the objective is perceiving and grasping the meta-skills

  of evolving Information Design and Architecture Technologies, as an immanent

  vision of practicing information professionals in variety of applications. The

  roll-model of this discourse peculiarly focusing on boot-camp mindset, while

  advancing in structurally modular mining in manifested hierarchical discipline

  of constituent components. However, the directional learning of the emerging

  skill, basically, is exploring in a blend of breadth and depth of the

  constituents macro components centric to the root of a business concept.

  3. Information, Message and Record:

  3.1 Information:

  Characteristically information is concept breeder. It has a diversity of

  meanings, from everyday usage to technical settings. Generally speaking, the

  concept of information is closely related to notions of constraint,

  communication, control, data, form, instruction, knowledge, meaning, mental

  stimulus, message, pattern, perception, and representation.

  Semantically, information has multiplicity of usage in technology, broadly it is

  the state of a system which may be delivered through message. Thus message is

  the information materialized.

  Information is always about quality of some existing state may be; parameter,

  occurrence, value, ethics, effects, etc. Truth of information is more vital

  than precision, for instance disruptive noise in communication. For measuring

  information Mathematical theory of information and algorithmic information

  theory are in in use.

  Even though information and data are often used interchangeably, they are

  actually very different. Data is a set of unrelated information, and as such is

  of no use until it is properly evaluated. Upon evaluation, once there is some

  significant relation between data, and they show some relevance, then they are

  converted into information. Now this same data can be used for different

  purposes. Thus, till the data convey some information, they are not useful and

  therefore not information.

  3.2 Message:

  Information in context bond semantics is closely related to such concepts as

  meaning, knowledge, instruction, communication, representation, and mental

  stimulus. When the information is a message received and understood.

  Algebriacally, it can be defined as a collection of facts/ data from which

  conclusions may be drawn. In other aspects the knowledge acquired through study

  or experience or instruction. But overall, information is the result of
• processing, manipulating and organizing data in a way that adds to the knowledge

  of the person receiving it. Information is triggered at sender end for receiver

  end. Communication Theory vastly covers variance of information from sender's

  and receiver's point of view.

  Information is any type of pattern that influences the formation or

  transformation of other patterns. Its meaning is dependent upon the context in

  which it is used; the term may apply to both theinformation and its form.

  In communications science

  More precisely, in communiation science, a message is information which is sent

  from a source to a receiver. Some common definitions include:

  Messages are important.

  ? Any thought or idea expressed in a language, prepared in a form suitable

  for transmission by any means of communication.

  ? An arbitrary amount of information whose beginning and end are defined or

  implied.

  In communication between humans, messages can be verbal or nonverbal:

  ? A verbal message is an exchange of information using words. Examples

  include face-to-face communication, telephone calls, voicemails, etc.

  ? A nonverbal message is communicated through actions or behaviors rather

  than words. Examples include the use of body language and the actions made by an

  individual idea.

  3.3 Records:

  Records are a specialized form of information, produced consciously or as by-

  products of business activities or transactions and retained because of their

  values are evidence of the activities of the organization and retained for their

  informational value and integrity maintained to retain corporate memory.

  If, the specific context associated with the interpretation may transform the

  information into knowledge. Complex definitions of both "information" and

  "knowledge" make such semantic and logical analysis difficult, In this

  practice, tools and processes are used to assist a knowledge worker in

  performing research and making decisions, including steps such as:

  ? reviewing information in order to effectively derive value and meaning

  ? referencing metadata if any is available

  ? establishing a relevant context, often selecting from many possible

  contexts

  ? deriving new knowledge from the information

  ? making decisions orrecommendations from the resulting knowledge.

  4. Information Design:

  The term 'information design' emerged as multi-dsiciplinary area of study in the

  1970s.

  In simple tersm Information design began as a subset for graphic design for

  displaying information, rather than just attractively or for artistic

  expression. Technically, information design is the skill and practice of

  preparing information for use with efficiency and effectiveness. There are

  various point of views;

  During the 1980s, the role of graphic information design broadened to include

  responsibility for message content and language.

  The term Information graphics was primarily concerned with diagramming and

  display of quantitative information, and often referred to the field of

  'document design'.

  In technical communication information design refers to creating an information

  structure for a set of information aimed at specified audiences. It can be

  practiced on different scales.

  On a large scale, it implies choosing relevant content and dividing it into

  separate manuals by audience and purpose.

  On a medium scale, it means organizing the content in each manual and making

  sure that overviews, concepts, examples, references, and definitions are

  included and that topics follow an organizing principle.

  On a fine scale, it includes logical development of topics, emphasis on what's
