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.

In general, an opinion is a judgment, viewpoint, or statement that is not conclusive.

It may deal with subjective matters in which there is no conclusive finding.

What distinguishes fact from opinion is that facts are more likely to be verifiable, i.e. can be agreed to by the consensus of experts.

An example is: "United States of America was involved in the Vietnam War" versus "United States of America was right to get involved in the Vietnam War".

An opinion may be supported by facts and principles, in which case it becomes an argument.

Different people may draw opposing conclusions (opinions) even if they agree on the same set of facts.

Opinions rarely change without new arguments being presented.

It can be reasoned that one opinion is better supported by the facts than another by analyzing the supporting arguments.

In casual use, the term opinion may be the result of a person's perspective, understanding, particular feelings, beliefs, and desires.
