Information science is the study of information phenomena,
including the acquisition, storage, and manipulation of data,
information, and knowledge. It is by nature an interdisciplinary
field. Researchers, managers, system users, and students need
access to tools, terms, and techniques that are spread out over a
large literature in a number of different disciplines: information
retrieval, database management, office information systems,
information technology, communication and networking, relevant
computer hardware, and artificial intelligence.
This work facilitates the cross-use terms from the various
contributing sub-areas of information science. With definitions of
one-thousand terms, in alphabetical order, the volume provides a
unified, integrated, and concise guide to the field. Each term is
annotated by one or more references to the literature. Where
possible, the first reference directs the user to a basic or
seminal discussion of the term and subsequent references show its
usage in an information science-related application. This work will
be an indispensable reference for students, researchers, and
professionals.
Key Features
* Contains one-thousand entries and more than 100 illustrations and
tables
* Many entries include enough information (examples, diagrams, and
formulas) to allow the reader to make use of the term, model, or
algorithm in his or her own application
* An extensive bibliography (more than 300 references) guides the
reader to the details of concepts described in the guide--nearly
every entry is annotated by one or more references, both to seminal
or basic discussions of the concept and to works that demonstrate
its usage in an information science-related application
* Each term is followed by a number "key" into the detailed subject
outlines at the back of the book, so that each item is given a
context within a subject area
* Entries focus on fundamental concepts, rather that specific
technologies
