This paper introduces a constructive definition of an informational community, which agrees with formal models of opinion dynamics for bounded rational agents in social networks. As is shown below, uncertainty can be taken into account when detecting informational communities. An example of a stable informational community is given. A control problem for informational communities is stated, and its solution is presented within the DeGroot model.
