Measurement has an important and acknowledged role in connecting the empirical realm and the information realm. Witnessing the diversity of philosophical standpoints in different contexts and times, the nature and justification of this connection have been variously interpreted: from discovery of the true value of the measurand, to assignment to symbols representative of the measurand. A reflection about the unavoidable presence of models in measurement gives us some perspectives on the epistemology of measurement, and therefore on models of measurement.
