Abstract

An argument that information exists at different levels of analysis-syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic-and an exploration of the implications. Although this is the Information Age, there is no universal agreement about what information really is. Different disciplines view information differently; engineers, computer scientists, economists, linguists, and philosophers all take varying and apparently disconnected approaches. In this book, Antonio Badia distinguishes four levels of analysis brought to bear on information: syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and network-based. Badia explains each of these theoretical approaches in turn, discussing, among other topics, theories of Claude Shannon and Andrey Kolomogorov, Fred Dretske's description of information flow, and ideas on receiver impact and informational interactions. Badia argues that all these theories describe the same phenomena from different perspectives, each one narrower than the previous one. The syntactic approach is the more general one, but it fails to specify when information is meaningful to an agent, which is the focus of the semantic and pragmatic approaches. The network-based approach, meanwhile, provides a framework to understand information use among agents. Badia then explores the consequences of understanding information as existing at several levels. Humans live at the semantic and pragmatic level (and at the network level as a society), computers at the syntactic level. This sheds light on some recent issues, including "fake news" (computers cannot tell whether a statement is true or not, because truth is a semantic notion) and "algorithmic bias" (a pragmatic, not syntactic concern). Humans, not computers, the book argues, have the ability to solve these issues.

Abstract

This book contributes to discussions within Information Retrieval and Science (IR&S) by improving our conceptual understanding of the relationship between humans and technology. A call to redirect the intellectual focus of information retrieval and science (IR&S) toward the phenomenon of technology-mediated experience. In this book, Sachi Arafat and Elham Ashoori issue a call to reorient the intellectual focus of information retrieval and science (IR&S) away from search and related processes toward the more general phenomenon of technology-mediated experience. Technology-mediated experience accounts for an increasing proportion of human lived experience; the phenomenon of mediation gets at the heart of the human-machine relationship. Framing IR&S more broadly in this way generalizes its problems and perspectives, dovetailing them with those shared across disciplines dealing with socio-technical phenomena. This reorientation of IR&S requires imagining it as a new kind of science: a science of technology-mediated experience (STME). Arafat and Ashoori not only offer detailed analysis of the foundational concepts underlying IR&S and other technical disciplines but also boldly call for a radical, systematic appropriation of the sciences and humanities to create a better understanding of the human-technology relationship. Arafat and Ashoori discuss the notion of progress in IR&S and consider ideas of progress from the history and philosophy of science. They argue that progress in IR&S requires explicit linking between technical and nontechnical aspects of discourse. They develop a network of basic questions and present a discursive framework for addressing these questions. With this book, Arafat and Ashoori provide both a manifesto for the reimagining of their field and the foundations on which a reframed IR&S would rest.

Rez. in: Information - Wissenschaft und Praxis 56(2005) H.7, S.395-396 (M. Ockenfeld): "... Das Buch ist der z. Band in einer vom International Network for Terminology (TermNet), einer Gruppe von vierzehn Fachleuten der Terminologiearbeit aus acht Ländern, herausgegebenen Reihe. Ein Anliegen der Autorin, das sie in ihrem Vorwort formuliert, ist es denn auch "Licht in das terminologische Dunkel zu bringen", in das man beim intensiven Literaturstudium allzu leicht gerät, weil der faktische Sprachgebrauch häufig vom genormten abweicht und außerdem Bibliothekare, Dokumentare und Informationswissenschaftler Ausdrücke unterschiedlich gebrauchen. ... Der didaktisch gut aufbereitete Stoff wird sehr verständlich, präzise und mit spürbarer Begeisterung beschrieben. Doch das Buch ist auch wegen seiner sorgfältigen typographischen Gestaltung ein Lesevergnügen, vor allem für diejenigen, die die herkömmliche Rechtschreibung gewohnt sind. Es kann der angestrebten Zielgruppe, Teilnehmer und Lehrende von Hochschulstudiengängen im Bibliotheks-, Informations- und Dokumentationsbereich, als kompaktes Lehr- und Arbeitsbuch für die Grundlagen der Inhaltserschließung nachdrücklich empfohlen werden."
