Information Regime

Resumo O artigo discute a interlocução dos conceitos de “regime” e “informação” e sua aplicação na Ciência da Informação. Toma como base a noção de regime de informação apresentada por Frohmann, em artigos chaves da área de CI, publicados em 1994 e 1995, e a idéia inovadora defendida por Braman em 2004, sobre a formação de um  regime global de política de informação. Sem imergir no acervo teórico que envolve ambos os conceitos de “regime” e de “informação”, esse trabalho explora a visão de Frohmann e Braman, na articulação desses dois termos, complementada por outros autores interessados na temática e apresenta exemplos da aplicabilidade dessas visões, na CI.  Pela falta de consenso na determinação do objeto de estudo da disciplina e amplitude de aplicações do conceito de regime de informação, esse artigo visa consolidar e validar esse conceito, que segundo Frohmann e Braman, parece ser mais pertinente à compreensão da política de informação nos dias atuais. Palavras-chave regime de informação; política de informação; regime global de política de informação. Abstract The article works on the dialogue between "regime" and "information" and its application in Information Science. It is supported by the notion of information regime presented in Frohmann´s key articles in the area of Information Science, published in 1994 and 1995, and on the innovative idea advocated by Braman, in 2004, of the formation of a global information policy regime. With no intention of going in depth, in the collection that involves both theoretical concepts of "regime" and "information", this work explores the vision of Frohmann and Braman of these two terms, supplemented by others interested in the subject, and provides examples of the applicability of these views, in the Information Science. For lack of consensus in determining the subject matter of the discipline and breadth of applications of the concept of information regime, the reflection proposed in this article aims to consolidate and validate this concept, which according Frohmann and Braman seems to be  relevant to understanding information policy, currently. Keywords information regime; information policy; the global information policy regime.

Immersive Technology

Over the years educators have adopted a variety of technologies in a bid to improve student engagement, interest and understanding of abstract topics taught in the classroom. There has been an increasing interest in immersive technology such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). The ability of VR to bring ideas to life in three dimensional spaces in a way that is easy for students to understand the subject matter makes it one of the important tools available today for education. A key feature of VR is the ability to provide multi-sensory visuals and virtual interaction to students wearing a Head Mounted Display thus providing students better learning experience and connection to the subject matter. Virtual Reality has been used for training purposes in the health sector, military, workplace training, gamification and exploration of sites and countless others. With the potential benefits of virtual technology in visualizing abstract concepts in a realistic virtual world, this paper presents a plan to study the use of situated cognition theory as a learning framework to develop an immersive VR application that would be used to train and prepare students studying Telecommunications Engineering for the workplace. This paper presents a review of literature in the area of Virtual Reality in education, offers insight into the motivation behind this research and the planned methodology in carrying out the research.

Since around the 1980s, the aspect of indigenous knowledge (IK) has attracted the attention of a number of experts, including culturists, politicians and information scientists. This has seen the mushrooming of literature on the subject matter from the afore-mentioned practitioners and specialists, with each discipline witnessing a certain “discourse”. This has also witnessed almost everyone in these disciplines glorifying African IK. Against this background, this chapter discusses the IK discourses in Africa, highlighting some of the significant trends and relationships among practitioners and scholars in the fields of culture, politics and information science that are driven by shared philosophies of IK. This paper is theoretical in nature and draws from the literature on IK to explain and demonstrate what the author calls the “IK discourses and “IK frenzy”, and explains the point of intersection by culturists, politicians and information science practitioners.

In times of real threats to the continuity of the human civilization resulting from environmental degradation, depletion of natural resources, overpopulation, and other adverse factors, the issue of sustainable development is the subject of interest of many scientific disciplines. As a leading objective of this paper, the authors take up the topic of sustainable development seen through the lenses of the library and information science, which is considered with special attention paid to its economic, social, environmental, and cultural dimensions. In addition to reviewing the most important literature, the authors also explore the subject matter from a quantitative perspective. As a result of the research, the authors identify the key areas that affect libraries as cultural and scientific institutions, in which work related to the sustainability concept is actively carried out. Quantitative research allowed to determine the proportions of efforts made by scientists within the previously selected areas, and to outline trends observed within those areas—that is, to identify which areas have recently been gaining importance, and which may have ceased to be exploited. The authors hope that the research results not only shed light on the landscape of world science in the subject matter, but above all, that they support contemporary researches of these fields by identifying potentially the most important works influencing the shape of particular research areas, and the identification of current trends, which are present within the mentioned areas as well. Further research directions, which are potentially worth undertaking, are also emphasized.

Recent studies have claimed a disconnect between the disciplines of information science and information systems even though, prima facie, there seems to be considerable overlap or potential overlap in their respective subject matter. The present study will target representative journals in the areas of information science and information systems and examine in more detail the overlap or lack of overlap between the two fields as reflected in the co-word analysis of the titles and abstracts of these journal articles. That the subject matters of the two fields can be combined in a discipline will be shown by a similar analysis of a third field, medical informatics, a new discipline in it its own right and a seeming subject matter hybrid of information science and information systems.

The Subject

Although the fields of geospatial data are growing rapidly, the result is still not satisfactory for the needs of engineers. No systematic information is available about geotechnical subsurface soil conditions and underground artificial infrastructures. This old-age problem is two-fold: (a) inadequate available digital geotechnical data, and (b) no concepts to improving the applicability and to updating data for engineering applications. On the second, the paper proposes the innovative GIS-based model-driven data processing methodology implemented into an expert knowledge algorithm named Semantic Interpreter Pythia (thereafter SI). From the point of view of geotechnical engineering, the subject of SI is the automated multi-thematic geotechnical soil profiling (GSP) by which it determines the geometry, the properties and the stratigraphy of the site-specific subsoil. From the point of view of geographic information science, the subject of this expert is to relate multi-thematic sets of data from databases, to interpret these data with a specialized data fusion model and, ultimately, to lead to unified information in a core relational database. The paper presents the innovative idea of this algorithm to propose the development of automated SI tools by the modern GIS and internet technology. These tools could help disseminate useful and up-to-date data for a wide range of uses. Based on the experiences distilled from an extensive geotechnical case study, the paper specifies what content is appropriate for engineering studies. The notions of data applicability and geotechnical semantic interpretation arise.

Events that occur in the Western hemisphere in seconds or minutes after that can be witnessed in the bedroom of people who are on the Eastern hemisphere continent. Likewise, events occurring in the Eastern hemisphere can be seen today by people in the Western Hemisphere. Indeed, societies’ lives can not be separated from rumors; this is caused by the existence of three types of people: First are the people who use the issue to damage the life of Islamic society, they are from the hypocrites and non-Muslims. The second is a person who easily receives the news and immediately conveys it to others without checking the truth. And the third is a person who easily mistake or quickly concluded then he immediately preach to others based on the false assumptions. The subject of this research is what and how the real description in the interpretation of the verses of the Qur'an about the information with analyzes the subject matter to give a certain concept of information. The discussion is based on the references to verses of the Qur'an and Hadiths that deal with the issues discussed. The purpose of this study is as follows; First, to know clearly about the ethics that provide the information so that the information submitted does not confuse the readers, listeners and viewers. Second, is to know clearly about ethics in receiving information in order to give guarantee of justice, balance and accuracy of the information.

Commons Institutions

“Knowledge commons” describes the institutionalized community governance of the sharing and, in some cases, creation, of information, science, knowledge, data, and other types of intellectual and cultural resources. It is the subject of enormous recent interest and enthusiasm with respect to policymaking about innovation, creative production, and intellectual property. Taking that enthusiasm as its starting point, Governing Knowledge Commons argues that policymaking should be based on evidence and a deeper understanding of what makes commons institutions work. It offers a systematic way to study knowledge commons, borrowing and building on Elinor Ostrom’s Nobel Prize-winning research on natural resource commons. It proposes a framework for studying knowledge commons that is adapted to the unique attributes of knowledge and information, describing the framework in detail and explaining how to put it into context both with respect to commons research and with respect to innovation and information policy. Eleven detailed case studies apply and discuss the framework exploring knowledge commons across a wide variety of scientific and cultural domains.
