Abstract

The study, "Knowledge Map of Information Science: Issues, Principles, Implications", explores the theoretical foundations of information science. It maps the conceptual approaches for defining "data", "information", and "knowledge", maps the major conceptions of Information Science, portrays the profile of contemporary Information Science by documenting 28 classification schemes compiled by leading scholars during the study, and culminates in developing a systematic and scientifically based knowledge map of the field, one grounded on a solid theoretical basis. The study was supported by a research grant from the Israel Science Foundation (2003-2005). The scientific methodology is Critical Delphi. The international panel was composed of 57 leading scholars from 16 countries who represent nearly all the major sub-fields and important aspects of the field.

Abstract

This philosophical essay explores the epistemological foundations of knowledge organization and discusses implications for classification research. The study defines the concept of "knowledge," distinguishes between subjective knowledge (i.e., knowledge as a thought in the individual's mind) and objective knowledge (i.e., knowledge as an independent object), establishes the necessity of knowledge organization in the construction of knowledge and its key role in the creation, learning, and dissemination of knowledge, and concludes with implications for the development of classification schemes and knowledge maps.

Abstract

The field of information science is constantly changing. Therefore, information scientists are required to regularly review-and if necessary-redefine its fundamental building blocks. This article is one of four articles that documents the results of the Critical Delphi study conducted in 2003-2005. The study, "Knowledge Map of Information Science," was aimed at exploring the foundations of information science. The international panel was composed of 57 leading scholars from 16 countries who represent nearly all the major subfields and important aspects of the field. In this study, the author documents 50 definitions of information science, maps the major theoretical issues relevant to the formulation of a systematic conception, formulates six different conceptions of the field, and discusses their implications.

Abstract

The field of Information Science is constantly changing. Therefore, information scientists are required to regularly review-and if necessary-redefine its fundamental building blocks. This article is one of a group of four articles, which resulted from a Critical Delphi study conducted in 2003-2005. The study, "Knowledge Map of Information Science," was aimed at exploring the foundations of information science. The international panel was composed of 57 leading scholars from 16 countries, who represent (almost) all the major subfields and important aspects of the field. This particular article documents 130 definitions of data, information, and knowledge formulated by 45 scholars, and maps the major conceptual approaches for defining these three key concepts.
