Abstract

[The notion of “government information” has two parts: government and information. In modern societies, information covers a fairly wide range. It is reflective of political, economic, scientific development and cultural conditions of the time, and therefore constantly changing. Due to its complexity, a fixed definition of the notion of “information” may not be possible. From a philosophical point of view, information is the common and essential attribute of everything. The characteristics of things are sensed by other things through a certain medium or transmission mode, such as sound wave, electromagnetic wave, image, text, symbol, and so forth. What embodies the characteristics of a thing and could be sensed by other things is the information that the thing communicates to others. Things have different natures, characteristics and law of motion. Through the information communicated by a thing, people could identify that thing and distinguish it from others.]
