- Abstract
- Presents an examination of the evloutionary aspects of the genesis and diversification of knowledge and disciplines. Identifies and explains 6 phases in the natural course of knowledge or information development: exploratory, classificatory, review, bibliographic, specialization and discipline branching; some diciplines also have an application phase. Of these, the classificatory and review phases have added importance in bringing development to the disciplines. If these phases are not properly developed, progress of the whole discipline is likely to be adversely affected. Suggests that ontogenetic studies of knowledge development in individual disciplines would be useful to understand the general and specific dimensions of knowledge building in time and space
