Abstract
In the DIT model we consider the signifier of a data item as a pattern that denotes a symbol in the physical world. The signified of the symbol depends on the given environment. If the data item is intended for a human, the signified is an already formed concept in the human mind. If the data item is used by a computer, the signified is a value housed in a token where the meaning of the value is determined by the set of operations that the name of the value—the variable name—is involved in. This set of operations has been designed by a human programmer who understands the meaning of the involved tokens.
