Ugh: 'IR' and 'NIR' are ugly obscurantist terms (though reasonable in their original context). Wouldn't 'Bytes' and 'Thing', respectively, be better (says he, plaintively)?
Both are misleading, since NIR is the set of all things, and IR is a proper subset of NIR, it doesn't make much sense to label it "non information resource(s)" when it does indeed contain information resources. From that perspective "IR" and "R" makes somewhat more sense.
