There is such a point of view that information is an abstract unit as an invariant of informational processes. Information consists of object, procedural and morphological components. We have an opportunity to consider that information consists of object and procedural components. So we have the relation-functional concept of information.
Information has such attributes as syntactics, semantics and pragmatics.
These attributes are relational definitions. Then we can not get a full understanding of information, universal and flexible enough. So it is necessary to widen and develop the definition of information. The classical theory of information and cybernetics used the first - abstracting. It is a quantity of information.
