'''Information space''' is the set of concepts and relations among them held by an [[information system]];<ref>Gregory Newby, ''[http://www.petascale.org/papers/newby-trec5.pdf Metric Multidimensional Information Space]'', ''[[Text Retrieval Conference]]'', 4 November 1996</ref> it describes the range of possible values or meanings an entity can have under the given rules and circumstances.

{{Quotation|An information space is a type of information design in which representations of information objects are situated in a principled space. In a principled space location and direction have meaning, so that mapping and navigation become possible.|MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory<ref>MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, ''[http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/infoarch/jair/jair-space.html The JAIR Information Space]'', ''[[MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory]]'', 10 June 1998</ref>}}

{{Quotation|Information spaces surround us. When we retrieve a file from our computer, we are browsing through an information space; when we use a search engine we are sifting through an information space; and when we visit a website we are moving through yet another information space.|Jason Withrow<ref>Jason Withrow, ''[http://boxesandarrows.com/site-diagrams-mapping-an-information-space/ Site Diagrams: Mapping an Information Space]'', ''[[Washtenaw Community College]]'', 30 August 2004</ref>}}

Another definition (idealistic) is that the information space are the total results of the [[semantic]] activity of the humanity, "the world of names and titles", conjugated to the [[ontological]] world. Being a primary concept, the information space cannot be precisely defined and is set as a [[dialectical]] opposition to the material, physical, object space.<ref>Sergei Pereslegin, Elena Pereslegina, [http://www.archipelag.ru/geoculture/geo/anthology/enough/ What is enough for Herodotus...], ''Russian archipelago'', 2001 {{ru icon}}</ref>
