This paper is devoted to introducing measurement as a process aimed at producing knowledge by attributing values to properties of objects. Some subjects of the paper are: measurement as a bridge from the empirical world to the information world; the meaning of (and there-fore the information conveyed by) the key equation measurand = measured value; measurement scales and units; and the distinction between qualitative and quantitative properties.

Abstract
This paper is devoted to introducing measurement as a process aimed at producing knowledge by attributing values to properties of objects. Some subjects of the paper are: measurement as a bridge from the empirical world to the information world; the meaning of (and there-fore the information conveyed by) the key equation measurand = measured value; measurement scales and units; and the distinction between qualitative and quantitative properties.
