"it is the semantic space constituted by the totality of documents, agents and operations performed by the latter over the former". certain autonomous docs also act upon themselves, allowing for OO to get into the picture. and much more in this theoretical setting, further defining information semantically [and orthogonally to shannon] floridi creates a setting where "things" are de facto sources|sinks of information in the infosphere. we are things... but we are agents [can carry ops over docs]... and we are also documents [because we *contain* data]. i think luciano is indeed laying the foundation of what is going to be a new science of information and we'd all benefit a lot by studying his thinking further and closer, cheers, s. julian, thnks for visiting.

I am not familiar with Floridi's work — but perhaps you can motivate me about the relationship between his essay (which I _just_ downloaded) and mine? Just one or two or three linkages, or how his essay might be knitted into my work. Thanks! Thank you for mentioning this essay I wrote.
