sources date February 2008 Theodore Christian Ted Hines September 9, 1926 June 25, 1983 was a Washington, D.C. born pioneer in the use of microcomputers and microcomputer programs in libraries . He attended undergraduate school at George Washington University and received his Masters of Library Science MLS in 1958 and a PhD in 1960 both from Rutgers University . He began his career as a children s librarian , and later became a professor of Library Science at Rutgers, followed by Columbia University , and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro . Hines advocated the Unit Theory of Operating , which basically states, if bibliographic information is input to a computer program in the correct manner then it can be extracted for any use, i.e. thesauri, indexes, catalogs. With his wife, Lois Winkle, he designed a sample program called the Children s Media Databank. The program was first constructed on a mainframe computer , and then transferred to a microcomputer for patron use. This program allowed a patron to search for children s books by subject and reading level. A sample search query might be a 3rd grader with a 6th grade reading level on the subject of clouds. The Theodore C. Hines Award was established in 1993 by the American Society of Indexers. External links http www.indexerlocator.org site index.html Bio Persondata Metadata see Wikipedia Persondata .

Information criticism critique of Information or informationcritique is by Lash 2002 understood as a transformation of critical theory to contend that today there is no longer any transcendental, objective, or privileged position from which critique or social analysis can be undertaken. If society is intrinsically informational, and the analyst is inescapably part of the society, so too must the analyst and the analysis be informational, as tied up with and characterized by the nature of information as every other social entity or phenomenon. As Lash repeatedly insists, The critique of information is in the information itself p. 220 Information critique must be critique without transcendentals p. 9 . Andersen 2005 2008 equals information criticism with the criticism of the functionality and legitimacy of knowledge organization systems such as bibliographies, classification systems, thesauri, encyclopedias and search engines all systems that in some way or another mediate the recorded part of society and culture.

Corporate taxonomy is the hierarchical classification of entities of interest of an enterprise, organization or administration, used to classify documents, digital assets and other information. Taxonomies can cover virtually any type of physical or conceptual entities products, processes, knowledge fields, human groups, etc. at any level of granularity . Corporate taxonomies are increasingly used in information systems particularly content management and knowledge management systems , as a way to allow instant access to the right information within exponentially growing volumes of data in learning organizations . Relatively simple systems based on semantic networks and taxonomies proved to be a serious competitor to heavy data mining systems and behavior analysis software in contextual filtering applications used for routing customer requests, pushing content on a Web site or delivering product advertising in a targeted and pertinent way. A powerful approach to map and retrieve unstructured data, taxonomies allow efficient solutions in the management of corporate knowledge, in particular in complex organizational models for workflows , human resources or customer relations . As an extension of traditional thesauri and Taxonomic classification classifications used in a company, a corporate taxonomy is usually the fruit of a large harmonization effort involving most departments of the organization. It is often developed, deployed and fine tuned over the years, while setting up knowledge management systems, in order to assure the survival and good use of valuable corporate know how. Enterprises have varying interest in the usage of taxonomies, from the usual enterprise information searches to the direct business benefits of taxonomies benefiting quicker and more accurate searches for the merchandise or the services of e commerce or e library sites. Such organisations may need to build large and complex vocabularies and deal with information assets that are largely in t ... more details

Unreferenced date June 2009 Concept mining is an activity that results in the extraction of concept s from Document artifacts . Solutions to the task typically involve aspects of artificial intelligence and statistics , such as data mining and text mining . Because artifacts are typically a loosely structured sequence of words and other symbols rather than concepts , the problem is nontrivial , but it can provide powerful insights into the meaning, provenance and similarity of documents. Methods Traditionally, the conversion of words to concepts has been performed using a thesaurus , and for computational techniques the tendency is to do the same. The thesauri used are either specially created for the task, or a pre existing language model, usually related to Princeton s WordNet . The mappings of words to concepts are often ambiguous. Typically each word in a given language will relate to several possible concepts. Humans use context to disambiguate the various meanings of a given piece of text, where available. Machine translation systems cannot easily infer context. For the purposes of concept mining however, these ambiguities tend to be less important than they are with machine translation, for in large documents the ambiguities tend to even out, much as is the case with text mining. There are many techniques for Word sense disambiguation disambiguation that may be used. Examples are linguistic analysis of the text and the use of word and concept association frequency information that may be inferred from large text corpora. Recently, techniques that base on semantic similarity between the possible concepts and the context have appeared and gained interest in the scientific community. Applications Detecting and indexing similar documents in large corpora One of the spin offs of calculating document statistics in the concept domain, rather than the word domain, is that concepts form natural tree structures based on hypernymy and meronymy . These structures can be ... more details
