Abstract :
To determine how an information system provides information and its capability of information provision, in this paper we propose a framework for analyzing the information bearing capacity of an information system by using principles of a series of semantic theories of information. Then, the information bearing capacity of an information system is looked at in terms of its soundness and completeness. Finally, an information system is classified in terms of how well the system satisfies targeted information requirements of the user. This work should provide guidance to information system design and evaluation.
