28
classification schemes of Information Science
|
Abstract
The field of Information Science is constantly changing. Therefore,
information scientists are required to regularly
review - and if
necessary - redefine its fundamental building blocks.
This article is one of a group of four articles, which resulted from a
Critical Delphi study conducted in 2003-2005 (Zins, 2007a, 2007b,
2007c). 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 particular article documents
28 classification schemes of Information Science that were compiled by
leading scholars in the academic community. This unique collection of
28 classification schemes portrays and documents the profile of
contemporary Information Science at the beginning of the 21st century. .
