Digitisation of information, a process still under way

Digitisation of information, a process still under way

Chapter 01 — Information • 01.01 — Material and immaterial information • Paragraph 13 • §01.01.13.00

The digitisation of information, a process that is still under way, includes: - the digitisation of material, analogue-world information (see §01.01.14); - the digitisation of dematerialised information (both that covered by IP rights and that which is not, see §01.01.15); and - the (slow but steady) digital creation of new information (see §01.01.17). Digital information comprises all of the above categories of information. Practically speaking, therefore, the digitisation of information leaves only immaterial information (thoughts, feelings and wishes) outside the realm of digitisation.
