Properties - Definition and Overview

In information processing, properties are transmitted by objects and received by observers. Generally, properties allow an observer to distinguish one object from another.

Properties are those elements which are required or may be characteristic of certain objects or materials, differently evaluated depending on the related field.

• Physical properties
• Thermodynamic properties
• Chemical properties

In philosophy, mathematics, and logic, a property is an abstraction characterizing an object.
