Introducing the First Edition of Geographic Information Science and Technology Body of Knowledge Introducing the First Edition of Geographic Information Science and Technology Body of Knowledge David DiBiase, Michael DeMers, Ann Johnson, Karen Kemp, Ann Taylor Luck, Brandon Plewe, and Elizabeth Wentz ABSTRACT: A “Body of Knowledge” is a comprehensive inventory of the intellectual content that defines a field. Following the lead of such allied fields as Computer Science and Information Technology, a team of seven editors and over 70 contributors completed the first edition of Geographic Information Science and Technology Body of Knowledge (BoK 1/e) in 2006. Specifying 329 individual topics in terms of over 1,600 formal educational objectives, the BoK 1/e is designed for use by curriculum planners and evaluators, certification and accreditation bodies, current and prospective students, and geospatial professionals in government, industry, and academia. KEYWORDS: GIS, curriculum, education, certification, accreditation, articulation, assessment, objectives Introduction Though few were developed as methodically as the ACM/IEEE curricula there have been many Constant changes in courses and curricula seem local-scale and several national-scale curriculum to be a fact of life… (Turner 2001, p. 4) development efforts in the U.S. related to car- tography, geographic information systems, and o began Joe Turner’s invited editorial in the remote sensing (e.g., Dahlberg and Jensen 1986; June, 2001, edition of the Association for Nyerges and Chrisman 1989; Goodchild and Kemp Computing Machinery’s SIGCSE Bulletin 1992).

Library Philosophy Provocation Information seems to be ubiquitous, diaphanous, a-categorical, discrete, a- dimensional, and knowing. · Ubiquitous. Information is ever-present and pervasive in our technology and beyond in our thinking about the world, appearing to be a generic ‘thing’ arising from all of our contacts with each other and our environment, whether thought of in terms of communication or cognition. For librarians information is a universal concept, at its greatest extent total in content and comprehensive in scope, even though we may not agree that all information is library information. · Diaphanous. Due to its virtuality, the manner in which information has the capacity to make an effect, information is freedom. In many aspects it exhibits a transparent quality, a window-like clarity as between source and patron in an ideal interface or a perfect exchange without bias.

  • Knowledge Organization at the Interface
    Gustavo Saldanha – Ibict - Unirio, Brazil Giulia Crippa – Bologna University, Italy Concept Theory and Conceit Theory Ontology and Logology Between Conceptuality and Non- Conceptuality in Knowledge Organization Abstract: Knowledge Organization (KO) has a historically established construction based on a concept theory according to the Aristotelian model. It is from the Organon that the primary theoretical basis of documentary-language thinking is established. One can identify the construction of conceptual thinking in classical approaches such as Ranganathan's classification theory. More directly, Dahlberg's theory of concept proves the demarcating point of view of the Aristotelian foundation in KO. However, even in such approaches as Ranganathan's, one can also identify another theoretical tradition in classification theory concerned with constructing a non- conceptual approach. It is from Emanuele Tesauro that we can conceive a non-conceptual theory, establishing a given conceit theory. This research aims to point out the dichotomies and correlations between a concept theory and a non-conceptual one in KO. The research method is theoretical, structured from the perspective of a historical epistemology with a pragmatic background. At first, the historical-theoretical place of concept theory in the KO is determined. Later, the foundation of a non-conceptual theory (or conceit theory) is identified. Furthermore, the relationship between theories in historical and contemporary development in the classification theory is discussed. From the Aristotelian categories, one can understand a method for the relationship between signifier, meaning, and referent, and establish the associations of meaning between terms. The non-conceptuality theory can be historically identified in Emanuele Tesauro. From his Categorical Index, published in the Cannocchiale aristotelico, the condition of concept (and no-concept) is the apex of a variety of chain of rhetorical being, and it points to the creation and progressive unfolding of language figures (conceit elements).

  • Library and Information Science and Digital Humanities: Two Disciplines, Joint Future?
    44 Session 1: Information Science: Interdisciplinary Aspects and ... Library and Information Science and Digital Humanities: Two Disciplines, Joint Future? Lyn Robinson, Ernesto Priego, David Bawden Centre for Information Science City University London {L.Robinson, ernesto.priego.1, D.Bawden}@city.ac.uk Abstract The relationship between the disciplines of library and information science and of digital humanities is analysed, in terms of common topics, issues and perspectives. A model to integrate the two, based on the components of the communication chain of recorded information is proposed. It is suggested that a partial integration of the disciplines, to the extent that their concerns are reflected by this model, would be positive for the future of both. Keywords: Library and information science, Digital humanities, Disciplines, Communication chain, Information chain 1 Introduction The purpose of this paper is to examine aspects of the relationship between the disciplines of library and information science (LIS) and of digital hu- manities (DH). It is evident that there are close links in several respects, but the rationale for, and nature of, such links and synergies is unclear. We attempt here to use a simple model to clarify one aspect of the relations between the two disciplines, and to suggest how this may affect the future development of both. Although firmly rooted in literature sources, the analy- sis is selective rather than comprehensive. In: F. Pehar/C. Schlögl/C. Wolff (Eds.).

As a result, a separate and distinct sector of the economy, the information sector, has arisen. When the information sector becomes dominant in a particular economy, it is called an information or knowledge economy (Webster 2000). Given this development in economies, information has become a commodity and as a result the value of information is important. Information, however, has certain characteristics that distinguish it from other economic products and services and which lead to an atypical cost structure, namely that the marginal cost tends to zero. Since competitive markets will drive prices toward marginal costs, the prices of information goods tend to zero.

  • Linguistics and Information Science: a Postscript
    LINGUISTICS AND INFORMATION SCIENCE: A POSTSCRIPT Karen Sparck Jones Cambridge University and Martin Kay XEROX Palo Alto Research Center The object of Linguistics and Information Science (Sparck Jones and Kay, 1973) was to show how far the suppposedly natural connection between linguistics and information science existed in practice. We surveyed linguistic theory and computational linguistics to identify approaches potentially applicable to information science, and to information, i.e., document, retrieval in particular; and we investigated the linguistic operations of automatic document retrieval to establish their linguistic sophistication and the extent to which linguistic theories were being, or could be, applied. We also looked for evidence of feedback from automatic information retrieval to linguistics. Our general conclusion was that there was very little actual connection between linguistics and information retrieval. Linguists were preoccupied by concerns rather remote from any practical activity like information retrieval, for example the properties of linguistic theories, and had failed to provide tools of potential utility to retrieval workers. At the same time, in both practice and research in information retrieval, needs which might be met by linguistic theory were not properly specifi-d. In general, the linguistic procedures of automatic information retrieval were found to be very simple, and it was not obvious how useful refined linguistic tools would be, either as aids to automation, or as devices for improving retrieval performance. In this note, we shall briefly consider the major developments in linguistics and information retrieval that have taken place since we completed the manuscript of our book in mid 1971, to see whether linguistics and information science are, or could be, more closely linked now than they were then.

Goldstone Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Indiana University Received 5 August 2019; received in revised form 11 September 2019; accepted 11 September 2019 Abstract Cognitive science continues to make a compelling case for having a coherent, unique, and fun- damental subject of inquiry: What is the nature of minds, where do they come from, and how do they work? Central to this inquiry is the notion of agents that have goals, one of which is their own persistence, who use dynamically constructed knowledge to act in the world to achieve those goals. An agentive perspective explains why a special class of systems have a cluster of co-occur- ring capacities that enable them to exhibit adaptive behavior in a complex environment: percep- tion, attention, memory, representation, planning, and communication. As an intellectual endeavor, cognitive science may not have achieved a hard core of uncontested assumptions that Lakatos (1978) identifies as emblematic of a successful research program, but there are alternative concep- tions according to which cognitive science has been successful. First, challenges of the early, core tenet of “Mind as Computation” have helped put cognitive science on a stronger foundation—one that incorporates relations between minds and their environments.
