Information or physical objects?[edit]

(Pinging @Micru:, who created the original version of this item pre-merge.) This item has the alias "information content entity", which seems contradictory to the statement subclass of (P279) artificial physical object (Q8205328) and the description of being a "physical embodiment". The term "information content entity" as used in other ontologies seems to refer generally to the information itself, not its manifestation. On the other hand, this item is frequently used as an indirect superclass of many items that are of information, and not manifestations of information. How should this item be properly used? --Yair rand (talk) 06:00, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I stumbled upon the same question (i think)
To me, it's not clearly differentiated between "manifestation" and "manifestation of information" TimBorgNetzWerk (talk) 11:43, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
