  Station Information - Continuum mechanics
Continuum mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with solids and fluids (i.e., liquids and gases).
Continuum mechanics makes the assumption that these materials are continuous: the fact that matter is made of atoms is ignored.
Continuum mechanics thus uses tensors, which are mathematical objects that are independent of coordinate system.

 THE INFORMATION CONTINUUM By Peter J Slack, B.E.Sc, P.Eng
The space-time continuum was born as relativity between material point notions that arise and separate as momentum of cell divisions between material and information.
The information continuum is the spatial distribution of material in the universe and is the reflection of the information dimension in the material dimension.
Information continuum is the distribution of material in space-time driven by the infinite paradox and repulsion between material and information and maintaining infinite symmetry.

 Packaging Knowledge: An Information Continuum
The collection is therefore a continuum, an information continuum, where the position of an information format changes as the defining scales of the continuum itself change.
Information dissemination is done not just through a 'book' or 'report' (yes, both are included in the list!) - but there are many, many other ways in which info can be presented, depending on the intended effect.
This approach is epitomised by the 'information pyramid'.

 Newsletter: Managing information: conquering the great enigma.
Both the enormity of information that exists currently and the technological ability that we possess to broadcast it all over the world seems to suggest that we are privy to a gain compared with the generations who came before us.
The information or knowledge manifests itself in a variety of forms: documents, scribbles on a post-it-note, information in someone’s head (not yet manifested), posters, conversations on the phone, presentations, reports, e-mails, sketches on a whiteboard, etc.
Each focal point is collecting information from his or her respective group and capturing it in a central competitive intelligence database.

 Legato Continuum: Delivering "Information Continuance"
The data availability continuum - whose metric is recovery time - ranges from slower standard recovery, where recovery of a file system or entire disk volume is from tape, to hot standby (the fastest recovery mechanism), where mirroring includes both data and the application environment that uses the data.
Information continuance is neither a tool nor a technology, but rather a service that enterprises have come to expect.
Information continuance is therefore the measure by which an enterprise judges the effectiveness of its IS organization.

 UC Berkeley School of Information | Programs - Programs Overview
Working with information in a variety of forms — from text and digital to images, video, and music — information designers and architects organize and classify information so that it can be navigated, searched, retrieved, and analyzed.
They also study techniques for protecting information from alteration, loss, or unauthorized use (including uses that violate privacy), and structures for ensuring that information is accurate, complete, and available when needed and authorized.
Students who explore this field explore the economics of information, information systems, and information infrastructures as well as the regulatory framework in which information is managed.

 Open Problems in Continuum Theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Continuum theory not exactly is a "theory" separated from other areas of topology and mathematics, and its identity is rather defined by special type of questions asked in this area.
A continuum X is called unicoherent provided that for every pair A, B of subcontinua of X such that X is the union of A and B, the intersection of A and B is connected.
A continuum X is called uniformly path connected provided that there is a compact collection P of paths in X such that each pair of points x, y in X is connected by some member of P.

 Info Literacy
Information may be one word in answer to a simple question, such as “What’s the weather like today?” Or it may be contained in a wide range of books, journals, and computer databases that help to provide answers to complex research questions, such as “What causes cancer?”
Information literacy is knowing when you need information, what you need, where to find it, and how to evaluate and organize it.
The student who contributes positively to the learning community and to society is information literate and practices ethical behavior in regard to information and information technology.

 Visually Mapping Consciousness - The Information Continuum Part Five: Points of Interest
I use these two characters to remind me of what people are like when they are in the states represented by the two theoretical extremes of this continuum; when they are consciously all the way to the left and when they consciously are all the way to the right.
Further, since the nature of this information exists only when we sense both types simultaneously, the only time we can be wounded is when we are simultaneously aware of (simultaneously sensing) the information being generated in both worlds.
Further, since the Information Continuum shows us when we are holistically aware of the information present, we can use this continuum to know when we are vulnerable to being wounded.

 CUIN 7317, The Visual Representation of Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
This method of organizing information uses magnitude from small to large, least expensive to most expensive, order of importance and so forth.
It is most useful when the the best use of the information is its value or weight.
It differs from organizing information by category because the magnitude may be indicated by numbers or units.

 VIRTUAL INTELLIGENCE: Publications: Virtual Diplomacy Initiative: U.S. Institute of Peace
In an age characterized by distributed information, where the majority of the expertise is in the private sector, the concept of "central intelligence" is an oxymoron, and its attendant concentration on secrets is an obstacle to both national defense, and global peace.
Information Peacekeeping is the active exploitation of information and information technology in order to modify the balance of power between specific individuals and groups so as to achieve one's policy objectives.
Information peacekeeping may require the covert delivery of assistance in electronic home defense, or selective information warfare operations (either overt or covert) in order to "level the playing field" between emerging democratic and popular nodes, and their oppressive opponents.

 TFS: Appendix A: Information Technology Literacy Continuum
The purpose of the Information Technology Literacy Continuum is to provide a framework for the integration of information technology to achieve the vision of information technology as a foundation skill area.
The Information Technology Literacy Continuum is based upon knowledge of child development and upon the use of sound teaching and assessment strategies.
When specific information technologies are identified on the continuum, they are to be viewed as examples and not as exhaustive lists that exclude all other similar types of information technologies.

 Visually Mapping Consciousness - The Information Continuum Part Four: Whatis Information?
The next thing that is important to know about the Information Continuum is the idea that we can consciously recognize information and yet not understand it.
But sensing this information (even if we give it a name) in no way implies we have understood this information, or even that we have assigned a rudimentary meaning to this information.
This is exactly what happens in the Consciousness Metaphor, in that the Information Continuum charts only the first part; how aware we are that something exists, while the Meaning Continuum charts the second part; how much meaning or lack of meaning we assign to this something we become aware of.

 Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model
As an example, one current approach to integrated information infrastructure is to provide "enterprise portals" that allow integrated access to information from different applications systems enterprise-wide, via a convenient, web-enabled interface (one of the colored segments in the ends of the cylinder in An approach to Boundaryless Information Flow (Enterprise Portals)).
To the extent that information today can be regarded as being "held hostage", as depicted in Liberate Data Silos to Meet Information Needs of Cross-Functional Enterprise Teams, Information Provider Applications are those applications that "liberate" data from their silos.
Information access services provide the ability for an application to access an integrated view of data, regardless of whether the data exists in a mainframe system or in a distributed system.

 Data Mobility Group's Perspectives on Storage   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Admittedly, even after a decade of experience designing, developing, and using systems that manage complex information assets, I sometimes use the adjectives "structured", and "unstructured" loosely in casual conversation or situations where brevity is important (as in my recent letter to the editor).
However, I believe it is essential for you to understand that structured and unstructured are not mutually exclusive sets, but a continuum from one type of information to the other as illustrated in Figure 1 below.
If you make the mistake of treating all of your information assets as either 100% structured or unstructured you are going to severely limit your ability to manage, protect, and eventually tap those resources.

 Fuzzy Signals: The Information-Values Continuum
I would point out that information and facts (in fact) lie on a continuum that connects with our perceptions, instincts, emotions, values and worldview.
This is often why we are selective in what information or facts we chose to believe, hear or see.
Having facilitated many sessions which try to widen people's range of perception and enhance their capability to see and act on new ideas, I can now almost recognize that beginning phase where new information can't be absorbed and just bounces off the person's perceptual windshield, rather than making inroads into their understanding.
