Relation between the concepts of information, knowledge and value: their similarities and differences

The problem of the similarities and differences between information, knowledge and value is analyzed, taking into consideration their sources, activities undertaken to obtain them and their specific characteristics as elements of analysis. The author concludes that there are essential differences between those three phenomena and should not be seen as three phases of the same and unique process. The same conclusion is also valid to differentiate Information Society, Knowledge Society and Value Society.
