    Message in its most general meaning is an object of communication. It is something which provides information; it can also be this information itself. Therefore, its meaning is dependent upon the context in which it is used; the term may apply to both the information and its form.

    More precisely, in the communications science, a message is information which is sent from a source to a receiver. Some common definitions include:

      An arbitrary amount of information whose beginning and end are defined or implied.
