Information Content Entity definition problematic for Software Ontology

See http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4B56DD9F.9000404%40ebi.ac.uk&forum_name=efo-users for full thread.
issue: SWO imports IAO_0000030, but with label "information" and no definition.
reason: I would love to pull in the metadata for this class too but the definition "an information content entity is an entity that is generically dependent on some artifact and stands in relation of aboutness to some entity" is confusing for our users and curators. Suffice to say, we mean the same thing as IAO mean by information and we use the same URI to indicate this, but the definition and label, less so.
