informacijsko

Informacijsko is an adjectival form found in several South Slavic languages (notably Croatian, Bosnian and Serbian) derived from the noun informacija, meaning "information." Grammatically it appears as the neuter singular form of the adjective informacijski/informacijska/informacijsko and is used to modify nouns that are grammatically neuter. As a lexical root and combining form, it denotes relation to information, information processes, systems or services.

In use, informacijsko commonly appears in institutional, technical and social contexts, for example informacijsko društvo (information society) and informacijsko upravljanje (information management). It frequently occurs in compound terms and names of organizations, research fields and public policies dealing with data, communication, computing and knowledge dissemination. The term overlaps with related adjectives such as informativno (informative) and informatički (pertaining to informatics/computer science), which carry different technical or pragmatic nuances.

Etymologically the stem traces to international borrowings of inform-/-ation, adapted to Slavic morphology with the adjectival suffix -ski/-sko. Usage and agreement follow standard grammatical rules of the language in question, so forms change to match gender, number and case of the modified noun. The term is widely understood in contexts addressing information technology, information science and information policy.
