- Abstract
- LIS professionals use structures for organizing knowledge when they catalog and classify objects in the collection, when they develop databases, when they design customized taxonomies, or when they search online. Structures for Organizing Knowledge: Exploring Taxonomies, Ontologies, and Other Schema explores and explains this basic function by looking at three questions: 1) How do we organize objects so that they make sense and are useful? 2) What role do categories, classifications, taxonomies, and other structures play in the process of organizing? 3) What do information professionals need to know about organizing behaviors in order to design useful structures for organizing knowledge? Taking a broad, yet specialized approach that is a first in the field, this book answers those questions by examining three threads: traditional structures for organizing knowledge; personal structures for organizing knowledge; and socially-constructed structures for organizing knowledge. Through these threads, it offers avenues for expanding thinking on classification and classification schemes, taxonomy and ontology development, and structures. Both a history of the development of taxonomies and an analysis of current research, theories, and applications, this volume explores a wide array of topics, including the new digital, social aspect of taxonomy development. Examples of subjects covered include: Formal and informal structures Applications of knowledge structures Classification schemes Early taxonomists and their contributions Social networking, bookmarking, and cataloging sites Cataloging codes Standards and best practices Tags, tagging, and folksonomies Descriptive cataloging Metadata schema standards Thought exercises, references, and a list of helpful websites augment each section. A final chapter, "Thinking Ahead: Are We at a Crossroads?" uses "envisioning exercises" to help LIS professionals look into the future.

- Abstract
- Information is essential to all human activity, and information in electronic form both amplifies and augments human information interactions. This lecture surveys some of the different classical meanings of information, focuses on the ways that electronic technologies are affecting how we think about these senses of information, and introduces an emerging sense of information that has implications for how we work, play, and interact with others. The evolutions of computers and electronic networks and people's uses and adaptations of these tools manifesting a dynamic space called cyberspace. Our traces of activity in cyberspace give rise to a new sense of information as instantaneous identity states that I term proflection of self. Proflections of self influence how others act toward us. Four classical senses of information are described as context for this new form of information. The four senses selected for inclusion here are the following: thought and memory, communication process, artifact, and energy. Human mental activity and state (thought and memory) have neurological, cognitive, and affective facets.The act of informing (communication process) is considered from the perspective of human intentionality and technical developments that have dramatically amplified human communication capabilities. Information artifacts comprise a common sense of information that gives rise to a variety of information industries. Energy is the most general sense of information and is considered from the point of view of physical, mental, and social state change. This sense includes information theory as a measurable reduction in uncertainty. This lecture emphasizes how electronic representations have blurred media boundaries and added computational behaviors that yield new forms of information interaction, which, in turn, are stored, aggregated, and mined to create profiles that represent our cyber identities.

- Abstract
- Why we organize our personal digital data the way we do and how design of new PIM systems can help us manage our information more efficiently. Each of us has an ever-growing collection of personal digital data: documents, photographs, PowerPoint presentations, videos, music, emails and texts sent and received. To access any of this, we have to find it. The ease (or difficulty) of finding something depends on how we organize our digital stuff. In this book, personal information management (PIM) experts Ofer Bergman and Steve Whittaker explain why we organize our personal digital data the way we do and how the design of new PIM systems can help us manage our collections more efficiently.

- Abstract
- The Architecture of Cyberspace is aimed at students taking information management as a minor in their course as well as those who manage document collections but who are not professional librarians. The first part of this book looks at how users find documents and the problems they have; the second part discusses how to manage the information space using various tools such as classification and controlled vocabularies. It also explores the general issues of publishing, including legal considerations, as well the main issues of creating and managing archives. Supported by exercises and discussion questions at the end of each chapter, the book includes some sample assignments suitable for use with students of this subject. A glossary is also provided to help readers understand the specialised vocabulary and the key concepts in the design and assessment of information spaces.

- Rez. in: Mitt VÖB 60(2007) H.4, S.95-97 (O. Oberhauser): "Die Autorin ist Dozentin am Institut für Informationswissenschaft der Åbo Akademi University (Finnland) und vertritt zur Zeit den dort vakanten Lehrstuhl. Ihr vorliegendes Buch geht zumindest teilweise auf einen längeren Forschungsaufenthalt an der Napier University, Edinburgh, zurück, wo die informationswissenschaftlich orientierte Forschung am Centre for Social Informatics, welches zum dortigen Fachbereich Informatik zählt, angesiedelt ist. Social informatics (nicht zu verwechseln mit Sozialinformatik, einem Terminus aus dem Gebiet der Sozialen Arbeit), bezieht sich auf die disziplinübergreifende Beschäftigung mit dem Design, dem Einsatz und der Verwendung von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien und ihrer Interaktion mit institutionellen und kulturellen Kontexten unter Einschluss von Institutionen/Organisationen und der Gesellschaft. Sie wird von Vertretern verschiedener Wissenschaftsdisziplinen mit unterschiedlichen Themenstellungen bzw. methodischen Ansätzen betrieben. In diesem Umfeld ist auch das vorliegende Buch beheimatet. Zwar ist "information sharing" ein Begriff, der aus der Forschung zu dem breiteren Themenbereich "information seeking and use" bzw. "(human) information behaviour" stammt, doch macht schon der erste Satz des Vorworts klar, dass hier eine thematische Festlegung auf den institutionellen Bereich und damit eine Einordnung in das Gebiet des Wissensmanagements erfolgt ist: "How can organisations correspond to the current demands of effective information and knowledge sharing?" (p. ix). Die Herausforderungen ("challenges") werden im Hinblick auf das Verständnis, die Organisation und die Verwaltung von Wissen gesehen und in technische, betriebliche, persönliche und soziale Aspekte unterteilt. Die Konzentration auf die soziale Dimension, so die Autorin, sei heute besonders wichtig für eine kohärente Beurteilung von Informationsverhalten und -austausch im Unternehmen.
