Information is that which informs.

In other words, it is the answer to a question of some kind.

It is thus related to data and knowledge, 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.

A conceptual model is a representation of a system, made of the composition of concepts which are used to help people know, understand, or simulate a subject the model represents.

Some models are physical objects; for example, a toy model which may be assembled, and may be made to work like the object it represents.

A concept is an abstract idea representing the fundamental characteristics of what it represents.

Concepts arise as abstractions or generalisations from experience or the result of a transformation of existing ideas.

The concept is by all of its actual or potential instances, whether these are things in the real world or other ideas.

Concepts are treated in many if not most disciplines both explicitly, such as in linguistics, psychology, philosophy, etc., and implicitly, such as in mathematics, physics, etc.

In use the word concept often just means any idea, but formally it involves the abstraction component.

These concepts are then stored in long term memory.
