Abstract: There appear many inconsistent and often conflicting views and terms for information, data and meaning in the field of information systems. This confusion might be a result of the lack of adequate understanding of meaning. We argue that meaning is created through interpretation by a subject (a human agent). We outline a conceptual framework for looking at information flow, which consists of an information source, information bears (carriers), and information receivers. This constitutes a backdrop of our main investigation on how what a piece of information means to a person takes place. We draw on Heidegger¡¯s work on the notion of ¡®being¡¯ to investigate the structure and essential characteristics of information-literate knowledge worker in the realization of possible impact of information whereby to understand the essence of inter-subjective and subjective meaning. We observe that meaning is the link between information and data. To be able to drawing meaning fr!
om information embodies the ability of an interpreter in understanding or interpret information, viz. her/his horizon of interpret. What is revealed here would seem highly desirable for both theoretic research and practice.
Keywords: information-literate knowledge workers, information systems, information, meaning, Heidegger
