Title

¬The history of information infrastructures : the case of the International Classification of Diseases

Abstract

Explores ways of wrting the history of information infrastructures. As an example looks at the construction of the universal medical classification: the International Classification of Diseases. Discusses the case of medical classifications, medical classification and the state, and medical classification and information processing. A fundamental figure/ground problem emerges in the analysis of information infrastructures. The medical classification system is historically contingent both with respect to its political origins and technological underpinnings
