Abstract
As a discipline of information processing computer science should be based upon some special concept of information. But neither the fundamental theories nor the main methods and applications refer to such concept, cf. Hotz [1] or Zemanek [2]. We are going to point out, that information although it actually appears as a hidden concept only nevertheless is a fundamental concept and that its structural properties allow a precise definition.
