== Introduction ==

Information (can be shortened as ‘info’) is that which informs, i.e. an answer to a question, as well as that from which knowledge and data can be derived (as data represents values attributed to parameters, and knowledge signifies understanding of real things or abstract concepts).

As it regards data, the information's existence is not necessarily coupled to an observer (it exists beyond an event horizon, for example), while in the case of knowledge, the information requires a cognitive observer. Data as information is data that is;
# accurate and timely,
# specific and organized for a purpose,
# presented within a context that gives it meaning and relevance, and
# can lead to an increase in understanding and decrease in uncertainty.

Because of the apparent complexity of capturing and documenting all the different aspects of information, Information linked to Data Tables is built as a matrix. The matrix is a representation that shows the relationship of captured information between specific decomposed and/or composed data tables and information objects. The core idea of a Information linked to Data Tables Matrix is that it typically consists of data table aspects in a list of columns, and another aspect is a set of information columns (taken from the map), while the third and final aspect being the cross product between the rows and the columns.

This allows for the Information linked to Data Tables Matrix to relate (un)familiar objects to familiar objects in the different layers of an enterprise (composition discipline), usually in the form of a diagram, a table or a chart (e.g. rows and columns), thereby outlining direct (and possibly indirect) connection points between different kinds of objects while showing a common pattern of the objects and the relationship between them.

== Information linked to Data Tables ==

The Information linked to Data Tables Matrix provides you with a detailed overview of the cross relationships between data tables and informations (each identified with a unique name and ID number) that has been identified through the Information Map, and then associated with the information objects, business objects, data objects, and data entities.
