1. Networked Information Resources
Information about information: indexing, tagging, and social bookmarking

2. Human-literature interface
Central concern of information science: the effective intermediation between people and literature

3. What causes the concern
Information overload
Specialized knowledge, fragmented literature

4. Information overload
“What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it”
Herbert Simon (as quoted by Hal Varian in Scientific American, Sept. 1995).

5. How literatures are integrated
Review articles, meta-analysis (e.g. Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics )
Special issues (e.g. Nucleic Acids Research annual database issue; JASIS&T bioinformatics issue)
New disciplines (e.g. Bioinformatics; Computers & Chemistry)
Citations indexing
Subject Indexing and descriptive cataloging (human and machine)
Knowledge discovery systems (e.g. collaborative filtering, Arrowsmith)
book buying network

6. Bibliographic control
Describing
Descriptive cataloging
Subject indexing
Citation indexing
Exploiting (traces of evidence)
How

7. New forms of bibliographic analysis
Citation/link analysis (bibliographic coupling, co-citation coupling, author co-citation analysis…)
Collaborative filtering (behavioral and social aspects)
Swanson’s “undiscovered public knowledge”

10. Author Co-citation Analysis
Clustered configurations of names often reveals: shared schools of thought or methodological approach, collaborative and student-mentor relationships, ties of nationality and other relationships…

11. Resource representation & discovery
Machine/automatic indexing
Human generated metadata (prepared by authors, users, indexers)

12. Metadata
Metadata is structured information that describes, explains, locate, or otherwise make it easier to retrieve, use, or manage an information resource.

13. Indexing languages
Natural language (machine extracted terms from document, e.g. Google and other full-text search engines)
Controlled vocabulary (used by the indexer to create bibliographic records e.g
Folksonomy (user generated terms for resources sharing e.g. )

14. Folksonomy
combining "folk" and “taxonomy,“ refers to the collaborative but unsophisticated way in which information is being indexed on the web. Instead of using a centralized controlled vocabulary, users are encouraged to assign freely chosen keywords (called tags) to pieces of information.
e.g.
