Abstract
While studying at the university, the natural-science students are introduced to the semantic relations between the notion of information and the concepts of other fields of knowledge, which helps them to enter into human society with the help of information technology. This problem is solved by the interdisciplinary connections between the social, natural and technical sciences and informatics. The essential point is the semantic analysis of the concept of “information”. It suggests three components of this concept: the form, the content, and the subject that puts the content into the form. First of all, these three components are connected with the philosophical view of the paradigm. The examples of the “information” lexeme usage in social communication and biology, provided with the relevant subjects, can reveal the properties of information that are not evident but that are crucial for the further studying of informatics, namely processuality, expediency and reductionality.
