“Information” as the process of being informed. This is the oldest meaning one finds in the writings of authors like Cicero (106–43 BCE) and Augustine (354–430 CE) and it is lost in the modern discourse, although the association of information with processes (i.e., computing, flowing or sending a message) still exists. In classical philosophy one could say that when I recognize a horse as such, then the “form” of a horse is planted in my mind. This process is my “information” of the nature of the horse. Also the act of teaching could be referred to as the “information” of a pupil. In the same sense one could say that a sculptor creates a sculpture by “informing” a piece of marble. The task of the sculptor is the “information” of the statue (Capurro &amp; Hjørland 2003). This process-oriented meaning survived quite long in western European discourse: even in the eighteenth century Robinson Crusoe could refer to the education of his servant Friday as his “information” (Defoe 1719: 261). It is also used in this sense by Berkeley: “I love information upon all subjects that come in my way, and especially upon those that are most important” (Alciphron Dialogue 1, Section 5, Paragraph 6/10, see Berkeley 1732).
