<p>In some countries, depending on local interpretations and contexts, the term "informatics" is used synonymously to mean <a href="Information_system" title="Information system">information systems</a>, <a href="Information_science" title="Information science">information science</a>, <a href="Information_theory" title="Information theory">information theory</a>, <a href="Information_engineering" title="Information engineering">information engineering</a>, <a href="Information_technology" title="Information technology">information technology</a>, information processing, or other theoretical or practical fields. In Germany, the term <i>informatics</i> closely corresponds to modern computer science. Accordingly, universities in <a href="Continental_Europe" title="Continental Europe">continental Europe</a> usually translate "informatics" as <a href="Computer_science" title="Computer science">computer science</a>, or sometimes <a href="Information_and_computer_science" class="mw-redirect" title="Information and computer science">information and computer science</a>, although <a href="Technical_universities" class="mw-redirect" title="Technical universities">technical universities</a> may translate it as <a href="Computer_science_%26_engineering" class="mw-redirect" title="Computer science &amp; engineering">computer science &amp; engineering</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In some countries, this term is associated with <a href="Natural_computation" class="mw-redirect" title="Natural computation">natural computation</a> and <a href="Neural_computation" title="Neural computation">neural computation</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>In 1956, the German informatician <a href="Karl_Steinbuch" title="Karl Steinbuch">Karl Steinbuch</a> and engineer <a href="Helmut_Gr%C3%B6ttrup" title="Helmut Gröttrup">Helmut Gröttrup</a> coined the word <i>Informatik</i> when they developed the <i>Informatik-Anlage</i><sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> for the <a href="Arcandor" title="Arcandor">Quelle</a> mail-order management, one of the earliest commercial applications of data processing. In April 1957, Steinbuch published a paper called <i>Informatik: Automatische Informationsverarbeitung</i> ("Informatics: Automatic Information Processing").<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The morphology—<i>informat</i>-ion + -<i>ics</i>—uses "the accepted form for names of sciences, as conics, mathematics, linguistics, optics, or matters of practice, as economics, politics, tactics",<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and so, linguistically, the meaning extends easily to encompass both the science of information and the practice of information processing. The German word <i>Informatik</i> is usually translated to English as<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <i>computer science</i> by universities or <i>computer science &amp; engineering</i> by technical universities (German equivalents for institutes of technology). Depending on the context, informatics is also translated into <i>computing</i>, <i>scientific computing</i> or <i>information and computer technology</i>. The <a href="French_language" title="French language">French</a> term <i>informatique</i> was coined in 1962 by <a href="Philippe_Dreyfus" title="Philippe Dreyfus">Philippe Dreyfus</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the same month was also proposed independently by Walter F. Bauer (1924–2015) and associates who co-founded software company <i><a href="Dataproducts#Informatics" title="Dataproducts">Informatics Inc</a>.</i> The term for the new discipline quickly spread throughout Europe, but it did not catch on in the United States. Over the years, many different definitions of informatics have been developed, most of them claim that the essence of informatics is one of these concepts: information processing, algorithms, computation, information, algorithmic processes, computational processes or computational systems.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:1_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>The earliest uses of the term <i>informatics</i> in the <a href="United_States" title="United States">United States</a> was during the 1950s with the beginning of computer use in <a href="Healthcare" class="mw-redirect" title="Healthcare">healthcare</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:3_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Early practitioners interested in the field soon learned that there were no formal education programs, and none emerged until the late 1960s. They introduced the term informatics only in the context of <a href="Archival_science" title="Archival science">archival science</a>, which is only a small part of informatics. Professional development, therefore, played a significant role in the development of health informatics.<sup id="cite_ref-:3_19-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> According to Imhoff et al., 2001, healthcare informatics is not only the application of computer technology to problems in healthcare, but covers all aspects of generation, handling, communication, storage, retrieval, management, analysis, discovery, and synthesis of data information and knowledge in the entire scope of healthcare. Furthermore, they stated that the primary goal of health informatics can be distinguished as follows: <i>To provide solutions for problems related to data, information, and knowledge processing. To study general principles of processing data information and knowledge in medicine and healthcare</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The term <a href="Health_informatics" title="Health informatics">health informatics</a> quickly spread throughout the United States in various forms such as <a href="Nursing_informatics" class="mw-redirect" title="Nursing informatics">nursing informatics</a>, <a href="Public_health_informatics" title="Public health informatics">public health informatics</a> or <a href="Medical_informatics" class="mw-redirect" title="Medical informatics">medical informatics</a>. Analogous terms were later introduced for use of computers in various fields, such as <a href="Business_informatics" title="Business informatics">business informatics</a>, <a href="Forest_informatics" title="Forest informatics">forest informatics</a>, <a href="Legal_informatics" title="Legal informatics">legal informatics</a> etc. These fields still mainly use term informatics in context of library science.

<p>In the early 1980s, K.A Nicholas published "Informatics: Ready for the Information Society" proposing a definition of Informatics as "the study and the practice of skills related to information, its collection, storage, retrieval, analysis and publication.
