- Abstract
- This study presents the results of a citation study of GeoRef articles with descriptors that represent the concept of "controlled vocabularies" a specialized area of study within Library and information Science to understand the use of this concept in Geographic Information Science (GIS) and distinguish information science concepts from information technology. Papers with pre-selected descriptors that represented the concept of "controlled vocabularies" from GeoRef were selected for a citation study that used bibliographic coupling and content analysis of the article titles and abstracts to draw clusters and understand the influence of the concept of controlled vocabularies in a geo-science discipline. The results from this analysis provide one perspective of the LIS sub-domain of "controlled vocabularies" as represented in GeoRef and used in the context of GIS research and scholarship. Findings are used to suggest future research directions to address issues related to better understanding of the concept of "controlled vocabularies" and the provision of knowledge organization tools that will promote interdisciplinary understanding. The creation of special. more-finely grained in-depth classifications and thesauri for the concept itself.
