Abstract: Apresenta modelagem baseada em Web Semântica para repositorios digitais educacionais na area de saude, que disponibilizam objetos de aprendizagem com aspectos educacionais descritos em formularios de metadados. Foram identificadas caracteristicas dos objetos de aprendizagem, com foco no objetivo de aprendizagem; agregadas tecnologias da Web Semântica a arquitetura desses repositorios e definida estrutura de informacao adequada. Isso viabilizou inferencias automaticas e contribuiu com o refinamento dos resultados de busca do usuario, aprimorando a recuperacao da informacao. Aborda repositorios digitais educacionais, as caracteristicas e peculiaridades que influenciam sua utilizacao; Web Semântica e suas tecnologias para estrutura e sintaxe, logica e semântica; e tambem sao feitas consideracoes sobre metadados utilizados na descricao da informacao dos objetos de aprendizagem. Como resultado, obtem-se modelagem que considera o processo de descricao e recuperacao de objetos de aprendizagem, segundo seus aspectos educacionais; informacoes sobre a implementacao; quadro com metadados LOM e Dublin Core correlacionados; e a simulacao do resultado de busca em repositorio digital educacional na area de saude, com a implementacao da modelagem proposta.

A Theory of Public Knowledge

TL;DR: A theory of public knowledge is offered for the purposes of defining more clearly its role in information systems and classification schemas, finding that it is consensual, it does not imply complete truth or certainty, it is autonomous, and it has a constant renewal of old knowledge with new knowledge.

Abstract: A theory of public knowledge is offered for the purposes of defining more clearly its role in information systems and classification schemas. Public knowledge is knowledge intended to be available for use in a public system. It is knowledge accessible to the public or knowledge in the public arena as opposed to the other seemingly multitudinous ways to describe knowledge. Furthermore, there are many different public arenas or small worlds. Public knowledge, irrespective of these different arenas, has four important overlying characteristics: It is consensual, it does not imply complete truth or certainty, it is autonomous, and it has a constant renewal of old knowledge with new knowledge. Each of these attributes has been culled from a study of the works of Patrick Wilson, Karl Popper, and John Ziman.

Abstract: Ranganathans’ Faceted Classification Theory has recently been used as a basis for organizing domains of knowledge in several areas, as it provides a set of high-level categories that allow a guiding principle to represent these areas. Originally, however, his focus usage was the organization of documents on the shelves and to describe subjects in libraries. This change of purpose as well as the difficulty in understanding the work of Ranganathan seems to bring a cost associated to the initiatives of application of his theories, in particular regarding the identification of categories of Personality and Matter. Supporting this proposition, we have the analysis of some examples of classification in Ranganathans’ work, when confronted with the current settings to their categories reveal certain differences. The objective of this paper is to present an analysis of these differences, illustrating the importance of context and understanding of the theoretical use of categories for the purpose of organizing knowledge assumptions. As a result, we present a systematization of questions arising from this analysis, we call ontological analysis, and shows the importance of considering the context in faceted classification as well as to understand the assumptions that guide the definition of categories that support a classificatory structure.

...Cabe lembrar que, de acordo com Ranganathan, a noção de faceta isolada é “alguma ideia ou complexo de ideias ajustadas para formar um componente de um assunto, mas que em si mesmo não é considerado um assunto” (RANGANATHAN, 1967a)....

...Um exemplo que corrobora essa possibilidade é a classificação, por Ranganathan, de “propriedades da matéria” (que ele exemplifica como: sólido, vidro, cristal, líquido, gás), na Física, como pertencentes à categoria de Personalidade (RANGANATHAN, 1967b)....

Abstract: This paper maps the concepts “space” and “dimensionality” in classifications, in particular in visualizations hereof, from a historical perspective. After a historical excursion in the domain of classification theory of what in mathematics is known as dimensionality reduction in representations of a single universe of knowledge, its potentiality will be explored for information retrieval and navigation of the World Wide Web.

...The role of these conceptualizations was touched upon as part of the attempt for formulate a faceted classification theory, in particular in discussions on the Colon Classification by the Classification Research Group (1951) and by several authors such as S.R Ranganathan (1951,1957, 1967) Thomas Daniel Wilson (1972), Clare Beghtol (2008) Francis Miksa (1992 and 1998) and Katryn La Barre (2006)....
