This SpringerBrief presents the data- information-and-time (DIT) model that precisely clarifies the semantics behind the terms data information and their relations to the passage of real time. According to the DIT model a data item is a symbol that appears as a pattern (e.g. visual sound gesture or any bit pattern) in physical space. 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. 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.
