Connecting network science and information theory

Connecting Science Data Using Semantics and Information Extraction

We are developing prototypes that explicate our vision of connecting personal medical data to scientific literature as well as to emerging grey literature (e.g., community forums) to help people find and understand information relevant to complex medical journeys. We focus on robust combinations of natural language processing along with linked data and knowledge representation to build knowledg...

Comparison of the use of Theory in the Journal of Library and Information Science with Research on Information Science and Public Libraries

Introduction: The theory has special significance and applications in every field of science, including science and information science. The present study seeks to Compare of the use of theory in the Journal of Library and Information Science with Research on Information Science and Public Libraries in the period of 87 to 96.   Method: The present study was carried out through content analysi...

Network Information Science

A framework integrating information theory and network science is proposed, giving rise to a potentially new area of network information science. By incorporating and integrating concepts such as complexity, coding, topological projections and network dynamics, the proposed networkbased framework paves the way not only to extending traditional information science, but also to modeling, characte...

Information Need: A Theory Connecting Information Search to Knowledge Formation

The roots of Knowledge and Information science

Knowledge and Information science is rooted in philosophy and its branches are in sociology. This does not impair its interdisciplinary position. In Iran, the name of "LIS" has undergone a little change and called "knowledge & Information Science (KIS)". Through this change, the importance of philosophy in this discipline has reached its highest level. Knowledge science has a great relationship...
