information resource:
. . . aka informational resource — that which has communicability through a medium and is . . . useful and available to be drawn upon (source of quote); i.e., information is a resource when put to use or supplied by a resource provider, for example, a location data supplier. The information resources they supply has value in the site selection process.
In a word, information is meaningful. Information such as business intelligence is processed data made meaningful. When intelligence is especially meaningful to business decision makers it has value because it is useful as knowledge.
The Knowledge Mapping Research website has an article titled: What is the meaning of "data", "information", and "knowledge"?
In his book, Data Resource Simplexity, Michael Brackett states that data are a resource (there's more). The expression, unprocessed information, refers to raw data. Whether said to be raw information or data the reference is to that which hasn't gone through a process.
The Web is information. … is the universe of network-accessible information, the embodiment of human knowledge (source of quote). The enterprise and economic development network that you are using in an information resource. It is a share network.
