Abstract

Discusses the nature of subject analysis, suggesting three different conceptions of this: simplistic, content-oriented, and requirement-oriented, considering the type of subject information and indexing method appropriate for each

Abstract

Recently, a new book on knowledge organization has been published by Greenwood Press. The title is 'Information seeking and subject representation: an activity-theoretical approach to information science'. This book presents a new general theory for information science and knowledge organization, based on a theory of information seeking. The author is Dr. Birger Hjørland, Royal School of Library and Information Science. In 1994, he presented his work on theory for KO at the 3rd International ISKO conference in Copenhagen. The book aims to provide both a new understanding for the foundations of information science and knowledge organization, and to provide new directions in research and teaching within these fields. KO (Hanne Albrechtsen) has interviewed Birger HjÝrland in Copenhagen about his views on knowledge organization and subject representation

Abstract

This article is a programmatic article, which formulates a new approach to information science (IS): domain analysis. This approach states that the most fruitful horizon for IS is to study the knowledge-domains as thought or discourse communities, which are parts of society's division of labor. The article is also a review article, providing a multidisciplinary description of research, illuminating this theoretical view. The first section presents contemporary research in IS, sharing the fundamental viewpoint that IS should be seen as a social rather than as a purely mental discipline. In addition, important predecessors to this view are mentioned and the possibilities as well as the limitations of their approaches are discussed. The second section describes recent transdisciplinary tendencies in the understanding of knowledge. In bordering disciplines to IS, such as educational research, psychology, linguistics, and the philosophy of science, an important new view of knowledge is appearing in the 1990s. This new view of knowledge stresses the social ecological, and content-oriented nature of knowledge. This is opposed to the more formal, computer-like approaches that dominated in the 1980s. The third section compares domain-analysis to other major approaches in IS, such as the cognitive approach. The final section outlines important problems to be investigates, such as how different knowledge-doamins affect the informational value of different subject access points in databases

ISKO Activities in Poland In May 2006, Prof. Wieslaw Babik was elected ISKO Coordinator in Poland. ISKO has nine members in Poland. The majority of them are associated with the Institute of Information and Book Studies of the Warsaw University. In 1995, the Polish Chapter of ISKO organized an international seminar in Warsaw dedicated to the Compatibility and Integration of Order Systems. The seminar proceedings have been pub lished. The new ISKO Coordinator in Poland intends to increase the activity of the current members in various fields of ISKO operations through: - Promotion of ISKO in Polish scientific periodicals to enlarge membership; - Development of the "ISKO in Poland" website (a page on the Institute's website) by students, with links to other educational institutions and professional societies; - Organization of an international ISKO conference in Krakow in 2010; - Promotion of the Knowledge Organization, with publication of articles by Polish scholars; - Regular development of Polish literature on the Knowledge Organization by placement of publications in the "KO Literature" (Ed. by G. Riesthuis); - Preparation of relevant information for the ISKO News; - Collaboration between the Polish ISKO and the Polish Librarians' Association, the Polish Society of Scientific Information, the International Specialized Terminology Organization etc.; - Development of an information center for information-terminology-knowledge organization and management, with a special collection of ISKO books and periodicals (as a deposit of the Polish ISKO) at the Department of Information Management, Institute of Information and Library Sciences, Jagiellonian University, Krakow); and, - Promotion of research activities in the theory and practice of terminology-information-knowledge organization and management. In addition, the Polish ISKO plans to disseminate the ISKO ideas in the Polish journals dedicated to scientific information and library science, as well as to open a discussion list on the subject. Presently, the most important forum of mutual contacts between the members is the Internet, which allows to develop a specific virtual community. The community is bound by the distribution of irregular e-mails with the ISKO in Poland News on the activities conducted by the ISKO Coordinators in Poland. - Wieslaw Babik.
German ISKO The German ISKO held its 10th conference in Vienna from July 3rd to 5th 2006-just before the International ISKO Conference. Main themes were Compatibility and Heterogeneity, Ethics and Future of Knowledge Organization. The program contained some English lessons and a tutorial on Ontologies. The German proceedings (Fortschritte in der Wissensorganisation 10) will be published in 2007 by Ergon together with some remaining papers of the international conference. The next German conference will be held in November 2007 in Konstanz with a focus on sustainability. Jörn Sieglerschmidt will be the local organizer 2007 as well as the new German ISKO treasurer. - H. Peter OHLY Extensions and Corrections to the UDC, 28 (2006) The next issue of Extensions and Corrections (E&C), to be published by the end of 2006, will bring to the UDC community important revisions and additions to the schedule, notably an extensive revision of parts of the Area Table concerning some countries of east and southeast Asia and Africa, and the expansion of Class 2 for Islam, which provides a very rich structure and vocabulary for one of the main religions of the world, thus enhancing UDC in an important subject area of worldwide application. Through the contribution of VINITI's collaborators, it was also possible to advance revision work in the areas of Mathematics and Physics, also published in this vol ume. The ongoing work on a proposal for the revision of Class 61 Medicine continued to receive the expert attention of Professor Nancy Williamson, and this year a proposal for the digestive system is included in E&C. Finally, An Extended Table of Common Auxiliaries (Except Place), compiled by G. Robinson, is presented as a special Annex. Although this is not part of the UDC Master Reference File, it is intended as an authoritative source of all that is currently valid in Tables 1a to 1d and 1f to 1k, and including details from older editions, at the 'full' level, that have never been cancelled. This comes in the same line as the Extended Place Table (Table le) published last year, together with Extensions and Corrections 27 (2005). Additionally this issue will feature a set of articles of interest to classification experts and users. Topics include: an exploration in mapping the UDC to DDC, interfaces to classification and UDC application in online catalogs and information on a new editorial support system being developed for UDC.

Presentations and abstracts from the UDC Seminar (4-5 June 2007) The files of the presentations and abstract of talks given at the UDC Seminar, held in The Hague on 4-5 June 2007 are now available from http://www. udcc.org/seminar2007.htm. The event was entitled "Information Access for the Global community" and its aim was to explore the latest developments and applications of the Universal Decimal Classification. The Seminar brought together UDC publishers, editors of the scheme, and UDC users, and offered an opportunity for information exchange and discussion of future developments. There were around seventy participants from over thirty countries including librarians, subject specialists, editors of national editions of the scheme, university lecturers, researchers and LIS students. The conference programme included eleven invited talks on the topics of user experiences and applications, innovative approaches in UDC use and UDC education and training (for the programme, talk abstracts, presentations, see: http:// www.udcc.org/seminar07/programme.htm). Papers will be published in the forthcoming issue of Extensions and Corrections to the UDC, in November 2007. The UDC Consortium announced that this successful seminar would be the first in the series of similar events it plans to organize in the future. - Aida Slavic."
