Data is generally hard to put a value on.

When I took an animal communication class in college, there was a formula for the value of information (not data).

I don't remember the exact formula, but it was similar Shannon's equation. Basically, the more valuable information is, the larger the change it affects in the probably of what an organisms next behavioral state is. So, if information signaling didn't change the behavior of another organism, it wasn't considered communication.

The implication through a lot of this discussion is that it's greater than zero and even that I question.
