Second, from the perspective of the mode of production of government information, government information includes not only the information produced and processed in the course of performing their duties, but also the information obtained by other organs, organizations and individuals in the course of performing their duties. Thirdly, from the existing form of government information, it should be recorded and saved in a certain form, which can be paper files, films, tapes, disks and other storage media. Oral news and social rumors without carriers do not belong to government information and cannot be provided by administrative organs. The scope of application of this Ordinance can clearly define the main scope of this Ordinance by defining the connotation of government information.
