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.

The 19th century (1 January 1801 – 31 December 1900) was the century marked by the collapse of the Spanish, Napoleonic, Holy Roman and Mughal empires.

This paved the way for the growing influence of the British Empire, the Russian Empire, the United States, the German Empire, the French colonial empire and Meiji Japan, with the British boasting unchallenged dominance after 1815.

After the defeat of the French Empire and its allies in the Napoleonic Wars, the British and Russian empires expanded greatly, becoming the world's leading powers.

The Russian Empire expanded in central and far eastern Asia.

The British Empire grew rapidly in the first half of the century, especially with the expansion of vast territories in Canada, Australia, South Africa and heavily populated India, and in the last two decades of the century in Africa.

By the end of the century, the British Empire controlled a fifth of the world's land and one quarter of the world's population.

During the post-Napoleonic era, it enforced what became known as the Pax Britannica, which had ushered into unprecedented globalisation, industrialisation, and economic integration on a massive scale.

A document is a written, drawn, presented, or memorialized representation of thought.

The word originates from the Latin documentum, which denotes a "teaching" or "lesson": the verb doceō denotes "to teach".

In the past the word was usually used to denote a written proof useful as evidence of a truth or fact.

In the computer age, "document" usually denotes a primarily textual computer file, including its structure and format, e.

g.

fonts, colors, and images.

Contemporarily, "document" is not defined by its transmission medium, e.

g., paper, given the existence of electronic documents.

"Documentation" is distinct because it has more denotations than "document".

Documents are also distinguished from "realia", which are 3 dimensional objects that would otherwise satisfy the definition of "document" because they memorialize or represent thought; documents are considered more as 2 dimensional representations.
