| Course content and structure |
|
With the rise of the internet and digital media, practices of
information organization are in a stage of transition away from the
conventional paradigm based on retrieving information stored in
silos of knowledge towards a new paradigm based on networking and
digital infrastructures. The core aim of the course is to develop
an expansive understanding of this new paradigm and, thus, of the
increasing importance of information and its organization for
business and government but also everyday living.
In more detail, the course will embark upon an endeavour to
introduce and explore the intricacies of fundamental concepts (e.g.
information, record) and the changes these concepts are going
through due to the internet and the services it affords. It is
against this backdrop that the course will continue upon its
exploratory journey by discussing new practices of information
organization (e.g. topic maps, wikis) as well as the implications
of these practices on economic ventures, organized collaboration
and many other domains of social interaction.
