Title

Knowledge space : a conceptual basis for the organization of knowledge

Source

Journal of the American Society for Information Science. 27(1976) no.1, S.18-24

Abstract

We propose a new conceptual basis for visualizing the organization of information, or knowledge, which differentiates between the concept 'vectors' for a field of knowledge represented in a multidimensional space, and the state 'vectors' for a person based on his understanding of these concepts, and the representational 'vectors' for information items which might be in a retrieval system which covers a subspace of knowledge. This accomodates the notion of search volume in which the user of a retrieval system can expand or reduce the subspace he searches for relevant information items which have representational vectors with components on basic concept vectors similar to his state vector. The benefits of such a new conceptual framework are explored in this article
