Dealing with information is one of the vital skills in the 21st century. It takes a fair degree of information savvy to create, represent and supply information as well as to search for and retrieve relevant knowledge. How does information (documents, pieces of knowledge) have to be organized in order to be retrievable? What role does metadata play? What are search engines on the Web, or in corporate intranets, and how do they work? How must one deal with natural language processing and tools of knowledge organization, such as thesauri, classification systems, and ontologies? How useful is social tagging? How valuable are intellectually created abstracts and automatically prepared extracts? Which empirical methods allow for user research and which for the evaluation of information systems? This Handbook is a basic work of information science, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of information retrieval and knowledge representation. It addresses readers from all professions and scientific disciplines, but particularly scholars, practitioners and students of Information Science, Library Science, Computer Science, Information Management, and Knowledge Management. This Handbook is a suitable reference work for Public and Academic Libraries.

Information Markets is a compendium of the i-commerce, the commerce with digital information, content as well as software. Information Markets is a comprehensive overview of the state of the art of economic and information science endeavors on the markets of digital information. It provides a strategic guideline for information providers how to analyse their market environment and how to develop possible strategic actions. It is a book for information professionals, both for students of LIS (Library and Information Science), CIS (Computer and Information Science) or Information Management curricula and for practitioners as well as managers in these fields.

Brauchen wir in Deutschland Unterricht in Informationskompetenz? Die Autoren und Herausgeber geben aus informationswissenschaftlicher Sicht eine klare Antwort: ja - denn in der Wissensgesellschaft ist es unumgänglich, dass jedes Gesellschaftsmitglied kompetent mit Informationen umgehen kann.

Der Sammelband skizziert zunächst die Geschichte der Ausbildung in Informationskompetenz und deren Integration in die Schule. Die daran anschließende empirische Analyse zeigt, wie informationskompetent Schüler derzeit sind. Auf Basis dieser Untersuchung werden im dritten und vierten Teil Vorschläge zur Didaktik und den Inhalten des Fachs Informationskompetenz entwickelt. Die Vermittlung von Kompetenzen im Bereich des Information Retrieval sowie des Kreierens und Repräsentierens von Informationen sollte ebenso in den Mittelpunkt gestellt werden wie Fragen von Informationsrecht und Informationsethik. Auch das aktuelle Thema der Gamification wird in die Überlegungen einbezogen.

Die vorliegende Studie legt nahe, dass ein Fach Informationskompetenz sowohl in der Primarstufe als auch in den Sekundarstufen I und II einzurichten ist, damit die Schüler adäquat auf berufliche wie private Anforderungen der Wissensgesellschaft vorbereitet werden.

The book offers a critical evaluation of Qatar’s path from oil- and gas-based industries to a knowledge-based economy. This book gives basic information about the region and the country, including the geographic and demographic data, the culture, the politics and the economy, the health care conditions and the education system. It introduces the concepts of knowledge society and knowledge-based development and adds factual details about Qatar by interpreting indicators of the development status. Subsequently, the research methods that underlie the study are described, which offers information on the eGovernment study analyzing the government-citizen relationship, higher education institutions and systems, its students and the students’ way into the labor market. This book has an audience with economists, sociologists, political scientists, geographers, information scientists and other researchers on the knowledge society, but also all researchers and practitioners interested in the Arab Oil States and their future.

Das Lehrwerk konzentriert sich auf die Beschaffung externer Informationen und deren Aufarbeitung und Bereitstellung in betrieblichen Informationssystemen. Es geht um "knowledge Management", um Nutzbarmachen externen Wissens in Unternehmen und anderen Organisationen.

Wissensrepräsentation ist die Wissenschaft, Technik und Anwendung von Methoden und Werkzeugen, Wissen derart abzubilden, damit dieses in digitalen Datenbanken optimal gesucht und gefunden werden kann. Sie ermöglicht die Gestaltung von Informationsarchitekturen, die – auf der Grundlage von Begriffen und Begriffsordnungen arbeitend – gestatten, Wissen in seinen Bedeutungszusammenhängen darzustellen. Ohne elaborierte Techniken der Wissensrepräsentation ist es unmöglich, das "semantische Web" zu gestalten. Das Lehrbuch vermittelt Kenntnisse über Metadaten und beschreibt eingehend sowohl dokumentarische wie bibliothekarische Ansätze der Inhaltserschließung (Thesauri und Klassifikationssysteme), Bemühungen der Informatik um Begriffsordnungen (Ontologien) als auch nutzerkonzentrierte Entwicklungen im Web 2.0 (Folksonomies). Es geht um das Auswerten und Bereitstellen von Informationen bei Diensten im World Wide Web, bei unternehmensinternen Informationsdiensten im Kontext des betrieblichen Wissensmanagement sowie bei fachspezifischen professionellen (kommerziellen) Datenbanken. Das Buch richtet sich an Studierende der Informationswissenschaft, Informationswirtschaft und der Wirtschaftsinformatik an Hochschulen in deutschsprachigen Raum wie auch an Studierende des Bibliothekswesens. Darüber hinaus finden auch Wissensmanager und Informationsmanager in der Unternehmenspraxis wertvolle Hinweise.
