An information disk includes an annular disk structure having a surface with a metalized data storage area coupled to the surface. An antenna is affixed to the disk surface and positioned radially inwardly from the metalized data storage area. A radio frequency identification processor is coupled to the disk surface and the antenna. A non-conductive gap is positioned between the metalized data storage area and the antenna and the processor is positioned in the gap. A protective coating is positioned on the disk structure The processor may also be positioned radially inwardly from the antenna. A process for enabling an information disk with a radio frequency identification processor is also described. The process includes providing a disk with an outer metalized data storage portion and an inner antenna portion, with the portions separated by a gap for accommodating a processor. The process also includes positioning the processor in the gap so that the processor is electrically active, and coating the disk with a protective coating to cover the surface of the disk.
