The actual "information" type will vary, depending on what the QR code 
leads to, I think?  The target of the QR code is just a website** - 
here's one I did a couple of years ago:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5151837335

in that case it's an audioguide.  Another:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1467600826

is on a bus stop.  Again, the QR code is just another way of encoding a 
link to a website.

Arguably you might want to say that "the way that I get to this website 
is via a QR code" (or reading it off a board, or asking a person in the 
gift shop, or...), but that isn't something I've ever mapped.

Best Regards,

Andy

** in the general case.  You can do an awful lot with QR codes, I think 
but all the ones I've ever mapped in OSM are websites.
