The various pieces of information (cases) that Asa H acquires/learns each have a vector utility associated with them. Gammack et al's The Book of Informatics (Cengage Learning, 2011) suggests that information should be assessed for quality along at least 13 dimensions: (pages 14 and 15)
1. new or surprising? 2. reliability 3. accuracy 4. relevance 5. timeliness 6. usability 7. completeness 8. simplicity 9. economical to produce 10. flexibility 11. verifiability 12. accessibility 13. secureness Some of these dimensions can not be assessed by Asa but we might be able to add others of them.
