Abstract
This article is part of a group of
four articles that resulted from a Critical Delphi study conducted in
2003-2005. The study, Knowledge Map of Information Science,
was aimed at exploring the foundations of information science. The
international panel was composed of 57 leading scholars from 16
countries who represent nearly all the major subfields and important
aspects of the field. This article presents a systematic and
comprehensive knowledge map of the field, and is grounded on the panel
discussions. The map has 10 basic categories: (1) Foundations, (2)
Resources, (3) Knowledge Workers, (4) Contents, (5) Applications, (6)
Operations and Processes, (7) Technologies, (8) Environments, (9)
Organizations, and (10) Users. The model establishes the groundwork for
formulating theories of information science, as well as developing and
evaluating information science academic programs and bibliographic
resources.
