Abstract

In recent years, the changes in information technology have been so dramatic and the rate of changes has increased so much that information science research rigorously evolves with the passage of time and proliferates in diverging research directions dynamically. The aims of this study are to provide a global overview of research trends in information science and to trace its changes in the main topics over time. The study examined the topics of research articles published in JASIST between 1985 and 2009 and identified its changes during five 5 year periods. The study found that the most productive area has consistently been ‘Information Retrieval’, followed by ‘Informetrics’, ‘Information Use and Users’, ‘Network and Technology’, and ‘Publishing and Services’. Information retrieval is a predominant core area in Information Science covering computer-based handling of multimedia information, employment of new semantic methods from other disciplines, and mass information handling on virtual environments. Currently Informetric studies shift from finding existing phenomena to seeking valuable descriptive results and researchers of information use have concentrated especially on information-seeking aspects, so adding greater sophistication to the relatively simple approach taken in information retrieval.

디지털 정보환경 속에서 동일한 내용이지만 형태와 표현 방식이 다른 저작들이 빈번하게 생성되어지자, IFLA는 다양한 매체, 응용 및 기능을 수용하고 이용자의 정보탐색 욕구를 충족시킬 수 있는 새로운 서지정보 기술 권고안인 FRBR(Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) 모형을 제안하였다. 이에 따라 여러 기관에서 이용자들이 보다 용이하게 원하는 정보를 탐색, 식별, 선정, 획득하고 또 항해할 수 있게 하는 FRBR 모형 기반의 서지정보시스템을 실험적으로 구현하고 있다. 본 연구는 앞으로 이러한 시스템이 본격적으로 개발될 때 도움이 될 수 있는 서지정보 인터페이스 개발방안을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저 새로운 검색 및 디스플레이 인터페이스를 선보이고 있는 FRBR 모형 기반 서지정보시스템의 전체적 특징을 살펴본 후, 각 시스템이 제공하는 탐색 인터페이스와 디스플레이 인터페이스를 각각 비교ㆍ분석하였다.

Abstract

New concept of bibliographic data and its scheme are needed to accommodate a change resulting from the emergence of new forms of electronic publishing, and the advent of networked access to information resources. FRBR model was developed for defining functions performed by the bibliographic data with respect to various media, various applications, and various user needs. Several institutions including OCLC and RLG or vendors have tried to implement the FRBR on OPAC systems. The purpose of this study is to propose the strategies for developing bibliographic interface based the FRBR model. This study is to review the representative FRBRized systems and compare the systems regarding on search interface and display interface.
