Making use of the Four Dimension Set Information Comprehension Model （FDSICM）, this paper analyzes the information attributes and expatiates from three levels the comprehension of the information meaning.展开更多

Making use of the Four Dimension Set Information Comprehension Model （FDSICM）, this paper analyzes the information attributes and expatiates from three levels the comprehension of the information meaning.
