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 paper takes a second look at three prevailing main themes in knowledge organization: i) the academic disciplines as the main structural principle; ii) the fiction/non-fiction distinction; and iii) the appropriate unit of analysis in online retrieval systems. The history and origin of bibliographic classification [Dewey, Bliss, Mills, Beghtol] are discussed from the perspective of pragmatist philosophy and social studies of science [Kuhn, Merton, Reich]. Choices of structural principles in different schemes are found to rely on more or less implicit philosophical foundations, ranging from rationalism to pragmatism. It is further shown how the increasing application of faceted structures as basic structural principles in universal classification schemes [DDC, UDC] impose rationalistic principles and structures for knowledge organization which are not in alignment with the development of knowledge in the covered disciplines. Further evidence of rationalism in knowledge organization is the fiction/non-fiction distinction, excluding the important role of artistic resources for, in particular, humanistic research. Finally, for the analysis of appropriate bibliographic unit, it is argued that there is a need to shift towards a semiotic approach, founded on an understanding of intertextuality, rather than applying standard principles of hierarchical decomposition of documents. It is concluded that a change in classification research is needed, founded on a more historical and social understanding of knowledge

Abstract

In information science, classification systems are conventionally viewed as tools for representing knowledge in the universe of ideas, the human mind, or one or more sets of documents. In this view, developing and maintaining relationships and structures in classification schemes must primarily consider two abstract ingredients: i) a set of concepts for one or more domains; and ii) a (set of) unambiguous structure(s) to articulate the relationships that persist between the various concepts that comprise the classificatory structure. We contend that design decisions pertaining to the structure of a classification system consist of far more than simply creating links between the elements in a particular set of concepts. Ultimately, a simplistic tool view of classifications implies that the construction is little more than a technical task in a very narrow sense: that classificatory concepts are viewed as standard representations of what are assumed to be the central and/or important topics in the knowledge domain(s), and that there is i) an unambiguous Platonic ideal or universal consensus that determines how the links will be generated within a classificatory structure; or, conversely, ii) that there are no general structures and relationships available at all, but that only diverse individual knowledge structures exist, which cannot be reconciled into a general organization of knowledge

"ISKO-France, Chapter Report The French Chapter gathered more than 80 participants to its bi-annual conference last year, April 2005. The theme of the Conference was: "Knowledge Organization and User-Oriented Strategic Watch Information Systems: Strategic Watch and Economic Intelligence Contexts". The conference was chaired par Prof. Amos David from the University of Nancy. The General Assembly was convened on this occasion and a new ISKO-France President was elected, Prof. Stéphane Chaudiron, University of Lille 3, a vice-President for communication and relations with International ISKO, Dr. Widad Mustafa El Hadi. A new Executive Board (EB) was elected: the new Secretary is Dr. Sahbi Sihdhom University of Nancy; Ms. Sylvie Dalbin, Assistance Techniques documentaires, Paris, is our new treasurer. Other members of the EB : Prof. Amos David, University of Nancy; Dr. Ismail Timimi, University of Lille 3, two members from the ENSSIB, that is the National School of Information and Library Science: Prof. Jean-Paul Metgzer, the former ISKO-France President and Dr. Omar Larouk. The French Chapter co-organized "la semaine de la connaissance" "Knowledge Week" on the 26`h June to the 30`5. The Knowledge Week was a gathering of all French societies dealing with Knowledge and KO issues. ISKO-France gathered about 46, almost half of the participants attended our specific ISKOFrance Day, i.e. Monday the 26`h. The invited Talk was given by a member of our Chapter, i.e. Prof. Viviane Couzinet, University of Toulouse. The Invited talk addressed at the opening session the whole Conference. The 6th ISKO-France conference will be conducted in Toulouse on the 14-16 of June 2007: the theme of the conference is Knowledge Organization in the In formation Society (Organisation des connaissances et les sociétés du savoir). This is a free translation to English since the French language has two labels for the concept of "Knowledge": 'connaissance' and 'Savoir'. The Conference and Programme Chair will be Prof. Vivaine Couzinet. The Chair of Organizing Committee will be Caroline Courbieres, University of Toulouse. The detailed Call for papers together with the Programme and Organizing Committees will be released shortly. - Widad all Mustafa.
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.
