“…Peirce's philosophy and semiotics have been introduced to IS and knowledge organization as a metatheory by several information scholars see, e.g. (Almeida et al, 2013;Brier, 2006Brier, , 2008Friedman and Thellefsen, 2011;Sørensen et al, 2022;Thellefsen et al, 2013). Peirce theory is, however, complex and known for its, at times, archaic terminology.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to discuss and clarify a possible realist foundation of domain analysis and knowledge organization, and in this vein, investigate into how the concept of information is to be understood at a lower but necessary conceptual level in domain analysis.Design/methodology/approachThe paper investigates into the foundation of domain analysis as formulated by Birger Hjørland, and develops a realist framework for domain analytical information and knowledge organization based on critical realism.FindingsInformation can meaningfully be considered as the prerequisite for domain analysis, and critical realism may provide for a realist ontological framework for domain analysis and knowledge organization.Originality/valueThe paper includes new insights into the foundation of information and domain analysis.

“…For instance, Thellefsen et al ( 2014) have used Peircean semiotics to criticize Belkin's individually-oriented cognitive ASK model for lacking a social component in which meaning is created as an interactive process between multiple agents and, ultimately, for being unable to explain how information is understood and turned into knowledge. Semiotics (based often, though not always, on Peirce rather than on Saussure) and its formulation of the relationship between signs, objects, and interpretants has also been proposed as a framework for understanding the sense-making process (see Liu, 2013) and as a way forward in improving indexing practices (de Almeida et al, 2013) and knowledge organization (Friedman & Smiraglia, 2013).…”

This article proposes an interwoven three-part framework for conceptualizing and analyzing the role of information in human activities, melding the cognitive and affective domain of the individual, the collective domain of the social, and the domain of signification and communication practices, focusing on the ways in which individual characteristics, social context and interaction, and signification and representation work together to form information behavior. The article presents an overview of each of these three domains and discusses the ways in which they are intertwined. It argues that considering the three domains in relation to each other offers a holistic framework within which to consider the ways in which information -needs, behavior, creation, and use -depends simultaneously on all three. It concludes by offering a brief discussion of the implications of the framework for information services, including (but not limited to) libraries.

“…A semiose dentro do processo de indexação, tal como estudado (MAI, 1997(MAI, , 2000(MAI, , 2001REIS, 2013), proporciona um novo passo no caminho da formação dos indexadores, apropriando-se da diferenciação entre a abertura para novas possibilidades de significação e a simples representação de demonstração de conteúdo nos processos de indexação.…”

Introdução: A relação epistemológica contemplada pelo Pragmatismo Peirceano deve ser observada a partir das incorporações do conceito original peirceano no campo da Ciência da Informação para evitar distorções no uso do termo. O conceito de signo usado de uma maneira generalizada, assim como o pragmatismo, em suas versões posteriores a Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914) geram uma diversidade de abordagens que não se adequam ao entendimento da concepção original. O pragmatismo peirceano com abordagens que incluem a metodologia pragmaticista e a semiótica nos processos de organização do conhecimento deve ter sua contribuição revista na Ciência da Informação Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho é apontar as contribuições epistemológicas do pragmatismo peirceano à Ciência da Informação e, em particular, à Organização da Informação. Metodologia: A análise teórica, visando a interpretação da Organização do conhecimento, tem na pesquisa bibliográfica fundamentação para relação entre a teoria pragmaticista peirceana e sua incorporação na Ciência da Informação. Resultados: Os processos de indexação são possibilidades de interpretação e não regras mentais de associação diádica entre significante e significado, entre conteúdo documental e um termo. A evolução de interpretantes, e o encadeamento informacional criativo, presente na aquisição de conhecimento estão contidos no método pragmático peirceano, viabilizado para a Organização do Conhecimento usando sua característica de método científico. Conclusões: A aceitação das etapas criativas pragmáticas no ato de indexação implica em conceber esta característica epistemológica de criação que alia o conteúdo do documento à recuperação da informação.
