    M. Buckland: Forme, Signification, et structure des systemes de selection du savoir. ISKO France ’99. 1 Deuxieme colloque du chapitre de l'International Society for Knowledge Organization, ISKO99, Lyon, France, Oct 21-22, 1999. Draft English version http://people.ischool.berkeley.edu/~buckland/lyon.html Forme, Signification, et Structure des Systemes de Selection du Savoir Michael Buckland, Professor, School of Information Management and Systems, University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA Une bibliographe contemporaine soucieuse de clarte a lance cette breve definition: Un document est une preuve a l'appui d'un fait. (Suzanne Briet, 1951, 7) Mesdames, Messieurs, l'invitation a ce colloque d'ISKO France est un tres grand honneur. Je vous remercie et je dois reconnaitre l'influence dans ma vie professionelle des oeuvres de documentalistes francophones, surtout Suzanne Briet et Paul Otlet. On m'a invite a faire une allocution sur les origines, le developpement historique, l'etat actuel, et l'avenir de l'indexation. A la place d'un tel discours qui, evidement, serait beaucoup trop ambitieux pour moi, j'ai voulu presenter quelques idees touchant les systemes de selection. Quels phenomenes interessent les chercheurs en systemes d'organisation du savoir? Qu'est-ce qu'on peut dire sur la structure de tels systemes? Comment peuvent les usagers de tels systemes comprendre ce que les donnees, les documents, et les metadonnees signifient? Comment pouvons nous joindre en une seule perspective la technologie et la signification? En bref, comment caracterisons nous les systemes d'organisation du savoir. Les remarques que je vais presenter aujourd'hui proviennent d'idees developpees avec mes collegues a Berkeley. Mon titre est Forme, Signification, et Structure des Systemes de Selection du Savoir . Le mot Forme concerne les phenomenes d'interet ( Information-as-thing ). Le mot Signification est susceptible de designer tantot la faire (la signification comme proces: Information-as-process ), tantot l'etat (ce qui est signifie Information-as-knowledge ). J'utilise Structure pour representer le genie, le systeme et le savoir-faire du documentaliste. 1. De quelles choses nous occupons nous? Les membres d'ISKO s'interessent a la structure du savoir. Cependant, quand nous utilisons n'importe quelle espece de technologie pour developper des systemes operationels, nous ne nous occupons plus directement de conceptions abstraites, mais de donnees, de textes, et d'autres objects concrets. La technologie est necessairement materielle. Donc nous nous occupons indirectement de savoir. Nous nous occupons directement de signes, de representations de la connaissance, d'objets que nous considerons comme significatifs. On pourrait dire que nous nous occupons de documents, mais de document dans n'importe quelle forme. Les documents ne sont pas seulement faits de texte. Parler de document de cette facon n'est pas original. En 1937 l'Institut International de Cooperation Intellectuelle, une organisation cree par la Societe des Nations, a collabore avec l'Union Francais des Organismes de Documentation, a fin de definir des termes techniques,

  • paper knowledge toward a Media History of documents
    2014
    Co-Authors: Lisa Gitelman
    Abstract:

    Paper Knowledge is a remarkable book about the mundane: the library card, the promissory note, the movie ticket, the PDF (Portable Document Format). It is a Media History of the document. Drawing examples from the 1870s, the 1930s, the 1960s, and today, Lisa Gitelman thinks across the Media that the document form has come to inhabit over the last 150 years, including letterpress printing, typing and carbon paper, mimeograph, microfilm, offset printing, photocopying, and scanning. Whether examining late nineteenth century commercial, or "job" printing, or the Xerox machine and the role of reproduction in our understanding of the document, Gitelman reveals a keen eye for vernacular uses of technology. She tells nuanced, anecdote-filled stories of the waning of old technologies and the emergence of new. Along the way, she discusses documentary matters such as the relation between twentieth-century technological innovation and the management of paper, and the interdependence of computer programming and documentation. Paper Knowledge is destined to set a new agenda for Media studies.

  • always already new Media History and the data of culture
    2006
    Co-Authors: Lisa Gitelman
    Abstract:

    This work provides an analysis of the ways that new Media are experienced and studied as the subjects of History, using the examples of early recorded sound and digital networks. In "Always Already New", Lisa Gitelman explores the newness of new Media while she asks what it means to do Media History. Using the examples of early recorded sound and digital networks, Gitelman challenges readers to think about the ways that Media work as the simultaneous subjects and instruments of historical inquiry. Presenting original case studies of Edison's first phonographs and the Pentagon's first distributed digital network, the ARPANET, Gitelman points suggestively toward similarities that underlie the cultural definition of records (phonographic and not) at the end of the nineteenth century and the definition of documents (digital and not) at the end of the twentieth. As a result, "Always Already New" speaks to present concerns about the humanities as much as to the emergent field of new Media studies. Records and documents are kernels of humanistic thought, after all, part of and party to the cultural impulse to preserve and interpret. Gitelman's argument suggests inventive contexts for "humanities computing" while also offering a new perspective on such traditional humanities disciplines as literary History. Making extensive use of archival sources, Gitelman describes the ways in which recorded sound and digitally networked text each emerged as local anomalies that were yet deeply embedded within the reigning logic of public life and public memory. In the end, Gitelman turns to the World Wide Web and asks how the History of the Web is already being told, how the Web might also resist History, and how using the Web might be producing the conditions of its own historicity.

  • and lead us not into thinking the new is new a bibliographic case for new Media History
    New Media & Society, 2009
    Co-Authors: Benjamin Peters
    Abstract:

    Must the concept of the study of new Media seem so thoroughly ordinary? What does it mean to study new Media other than to study Media that exist now? Prompted by the 10th anniversary of New Media & Society, this article aims to help rethink and elongate the History of new Media studies by merging new Media studies and Media History literatures.The recursive definition and use of the term `new Media' are reviewed. New Media need to be understood not as emerging digital communication technologies, so much as Media with uncertain terms and uses. Moreover, by recognizing that new Media studies quickly become History and that most Media History is already new Media History, this article calls for a use of both literatures to focus on the renewable nature of Media in History. It reflects on a complementary attitude toward History meant to help usher in a sounder future of the study of the past.
