Abstract

Discusses the history of information science, particularly with regard to its understanding of an approach to relevance. Explains important aspects of the prototypical approach to human categorisation theory and its application to the notion of relevance. Shows how much information science research is flawed because it endorses a classical approach to categorisation theory and fails to explain experience adequately
