No full textQuesto repertorio comprende le sigle di ambito LIS contenute nelle pagine di AIB-WEB, ed altre di uso comune in biblioteca. Sono esclusi i termini esclusivamente informatici (come per esempio "HTML"), politico-amministrativi (es. "DG XIII"), legislativi (es. "DPR"), e gli enti di ambito inferiore a quello regionale. Quando non risulti già evidente, è specificata fra parentesi quadre l'entità nel cui contesto l'acronimo viene utilizzato; essa è citata a sua volta in forma di acronimo nei casi in cui si tratti di una voce inclusa nel presente repertorio o comunemente nota, in forma estesa altrimenti
Unified theory of information, hypertextuality and levels of reality
No full textPurpose: The different senses of the term information in physical, biological, and social interpretations, and the possibility of connections between them, are addressed. Special attention is paid to Hofkirchner's Unified Theory of Information (UTI), proposing an integrated view in which the notion of information gets additional properties as one moves from the physical to the biological and the social realms.
Approach: UTI is compared to other views of information, especially to two theories complementing several ideas of UTI: the theory of the hypertextual documental universe (docuverse) and the theory of integrative levels of reality. Two alternative applications of the complex of these three theories are discussed: a pragmatical, hermeneutic one, and a more ambitious realist, ontological one. The latter can be extended until considering information (“bit”) together with matter-energy (“it”) as a fundamental element in the world. Problems and opportunities with each view are discussed.
Findings: It is found that the common ground for all three theories is an evolutionary approach, paying attention to the phylogenetic connections between the different meanings of information

Organization of medical knowledge: documentation techniques applied to a macro-domain underpinned by sociopolitical issues
No full textInternational audienceChapter 8 by Marcin Trzmielewski and Claudio Gnoli is a joint contribution on the evolution of medical knowledge organization systems (MKOS) for the 1960s to 2019. These researchers are both specialists in knowledge organization, a field of activity and research that focuses on the design, study and critique of methods for organizing and representing knowledge, most often implemented in libraries and documentation centers. Based on a review of 71 articles published in information and documentation sciences, this chapter describes the main families of MKOSs, the most represented being ontologies, thesauri and classifications. The increase in the number of publications on this subject since 1960 reflects both the vitality of the field of knowledge organization, particularly in the United States and Canada, and the strong dynamics of scientific publication in medicine, and the generalization of health information on the medical Internet. Beyond the study of the structuring of concepts, the relationships between concepts, and the evolution of the various fields of medicine, this chapter presents a complete analysis of the "general public" or specialized users of MKOS. The study also focuses on the document processing process and questions the testing of specialized classifications organized by discipline in the face of interdisciplinarity. It appears that this field is still dominated by concerns related to the representation of knowledge, for which classifications also raise socio-cultural or political questions
