Professor Peter Ingwersen Table of Contents Emergence ------ > 1958 Alliances & Identity Crisis 1958 - 1977 Turning point 1977 - 1980 Scope 1980 ... Research areas Information conceptions for IS Information acquisition in context Professor Peter Ingwersen

Professor Peter Ingwersen Scope for Information Science FACILITATING the EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION of DESIRED INFORMATION between HUMAN GENERATOR and HUMAN USER Belkin, 1978 Professor Peter Ingwersen

Professor Peter Ingwersen EMERGENCE 1958 Institute of Information Scientists, 1958 LABORATORY scientists (Chem., Math., Med.) INFORMATION scientists Management and Retrieval of SCIENTIFIC & TECHNICAL information Impact of IT SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION Professor Peter Ingwersen

Scientific Communication Lotka: Scientific PRODUCTIVITY - 1926 Zipf: TERM FREQUENCY constants in texts – 1932 – leading to automatic indexing Bradford: Bibliographic distribution – 1934 Always skewed distributions! INFORMETRICS - BIBLIOMETRICS – SCIENTOMETRICS – WEBOMETRICS – (Network analyses: Citations & Links) Derek De Solla Price - Eugene Garfield - Ranganathan(1935-60) Librarianship: 5 laws - Documentation: 5 FACETS (EPMST) Bliss: Organisation of knowledge - 1929 Professor Peter Ingwersen

Bradford’s ’Law’, graphic version Cumulated articles No. of journals (log) Eget eksempel Professor Peter Ingwersen

Alliances * Identity * Exageration Identity Crisis: Information Science: Discipline or disappearance (Goffman, 1970) Information Science: Search for identity (Debons, 1974) The Fundamental Problem of Information Science (Brookes, 1975) Information: One label, several bottles (Fairthorne, 1975) Towards a True Information Science (Farradane, 1976) Library Science/Librarianship (Shera) vs. Information Science (Kochen) Alliances: Communication Theory vs. Computer Science./ Informatics Exageration: Informatology (Debons, 1970-80) Popper’s 3. World (Brookes, 1977-80) Professor Peter Ingwersen

Professor Peter Ingwersen The Circle of Systemic/Social Contexts in Information Science – actor as centre Cognitive Actor(s) (team) Org. Cultural Social Context Info. Objects Inter- face IT IT – pull Communication or Soc. Sc. – pull IR Interaction Social Interaction Professor Peter Ingwersen

Professor Peter Ingwersen The TURNING POINT 1977-1980 The NEW GENERATION fostered by old PIONEERs: Wersig - Neveling, 1975 Belkin - Robertson, 1976, et al…. The SCOPE of Information Science: FACILITATING the EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION of DESIRED INFORMATION between HUMAN GENERATOR and HUMAN USER Belkin, 1978 Professor Peter Ingwersen

Professor Peter Ingwersen Five CORE STUDY AREAS: Information in human, cognitive communication systems The idea of desired information The effectiveness of information & information transfer The relationship between information and generator The relationship between information & user Professor Peter Ingwersen

Central Triangle for IS INFORMATION IT ARCHITECHTURE Algorithms PEOPLE Author - User Professor Peter Ingwersen

Professor Peter Ingwersen LIS sub-disciplines Information Retrieval research Interactive IR – mainstream Lab. IR IR Evaluation methods – experimental scenarios Performance & Utility measures Knowledge organization & Information architecture – indexing, representation, ontology Information (Seeking) Behavioral studies Informetrics/Bibliometrics Scientometrics - Webometrics (Digital) Library Research Information Service Development Knowledge Management Role of Information / Knowledge in Society Professor Peter Ingwersen

Some Central LIS Concepts Information & Knowledge Information need: formation & development Anomaleous State of Knowledge: ASK Work Tasks / Daily-life tasks & interests Search Tasks (seeking/search strategies; tactics) Information Sources: Information Objects – Documents – People Interaction – Communication – Context Relevance Professor Peter Ingwersen

Some recent developments The i-School construction (US & beyond) Increased integration between disciplines Changed R&D; publication patterns, e.g. Laboratory IR publ. in conference papers, i.e. less visibility in journals (WoS >>> maps become faulty) Increased R&D: Web; media & archival/DL (IT-drive?) Difficulty for CoLIS; ASIST to attract many and good submissions Professor Peter Ingwersen

Professor Peter Ingwersen White & McCain, JASIS, 1998 Professor Peter Ingwersen

Professor Peter Ingwersen White & McCain, JASIS, 1998 MAP: 1988-95 Professor Peter Ingwersen

Professor Peter Ingwersen 2003-2007 – 63 authors; 2542 LIS articles (=White/McCain, 1998). Persson, 2008 Professor Peter Ingwersen

Information Concepts - 1 Information is Contents of Texts, i.e word representation, index terms (Salton, 1968) generator’s meaning: information ~ meaning Information Measure, i.e., probability of reception of signs in a message (Shannon, 49) generator’s signs (not meaning) ~ information Information: the Meaning of a message and Reduction of uncertainty (Artandi, 73) Professor Peter Ingwersen

Information Concepts - 2 Information associated with human perception: Reduction of Uncertainty (Wersig, 1971-73) Problematic Situation State of Uncertainty Knowledge Structures (Brookes, 1978,80; Belkin, 78) Brookes’ Equation, effects on an individual’s knowledge state Professor Peter Ingwersen

Information Concepts - 3 Buckland’s tripartite ontology (1990): Information as THING - PROCESS - KNOWLEDGE Data - Getting informed - Informed Sign - Interpretation - Know Potential - Perception/Interpretation - Cognition Professor Peter Ingwersen

The Consolidated Information Concept The cognitive view: perception in context Two conditions must be satisfied: Information is the result of a transformation of generator’s knowledge structures - by Intentionality, model of recipients’ states of knowledge, and in form of signs which when perceived, affects and transforms the recipient’s state of knowledge (Ingwersen, 1992) Information (equals or) goes beyond meaning Professor Peter Ingwersen

Creativity & daily-life information acquistion Idea (presuppositions) Hypothesis / Prediction (intention) Test (sensory data interpretation) Falsification / Verification Information Cognition (context) Knowledge Theory.. Professor Peter Ingwersen

Professor Peter Ingwersen Model of (scientific) information acquisition from Sensory Data from nature (The Turn, p. 273) Remember Tycho Brahe’s data set … and Keppler’s (& Copernicus’) use of it to falsify the pre-Newton geo-centric perception of the universe! Natural Objects & Phenomena Technology Scholar(s) Org. Cultural - Cognitive transformation over time - Social interaction over time - Instances of interaction of scientific inquiry Social Context 1 2 3/4 8 Professor Peter Ingwersen
