Discussão, avaliação e apresentação de parâmetros para a organização da informação científica e tecnológica (ICT) brasileira em meio eletrônico, enfocando os problemas do acesso à informação em sistemas abertos, especificamente a Plataforma Lattes do Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa (CNPq). Para fundamentação teórico-conceitual da pesquisa fez-se um retrospecto da ICT brasileira a partir da evolução das suas políticas nacionais de Ciência e Tecnologia e, em seguida, analisaram-se criticamente os recursos relacionados à organização da informação. Um estudo exploratório é apresentado, desenvolvido a partir de currículos extraídos da Plataforma Lattes, para identificar se a natureza aberta do sistema compromete a consistência dos dados na recuperação da informação. A análise se deu em duas etapas: a primeira, a partir da lógica dos Arquivos Pessoais e, a segunda, observando-se as formas de preenchimento do sistema a partir de três categorias: campos com Autonomia Total, Autonomia Parcial, e Sem Autonomia. Conclui-se que há comprometimento da consistência na recuperação da informação em sistemas abertos. A partir da sistematização dos resultados, apresentam-se sugestões para aprimorar o sistema. / Discussion, assessment and presentation of parameters for organization of Brazilian Scientific and Technological Information (STI) on electronic means, focusing on the problems of access to information in open systems, specifically the Lattes Data Base of the Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa (CNPq). For the theoretical and conceptual well-grounding of this research, a retrospect of Brazilian STI was carried out from the evolution of its national Science and Technology politics, and then the resources related to the organization of information were critically analyzed. An explanatory study is presented, developed from CVs taken from the Lattes Data Base in order to identify if the open nature of the system puts the consistency of data at risk when information is retrieved. This analysis was carried out in two steps: the first one was done based on the logic of Personal Files, and the second one by observing the ways the system is fulfilled within three categories: fields with Total Autonomy, with Partial Autonomy and with No Autonomy.

Esta pesquisa aborda o tratamento da informação em ambientes digitais, tema que envolve o registro, a organização dos dados e dos acervos e a preservação das obras, considerando os meios tecnológicos existentes. Sua base teórica repousa no reconhecimento da Documentação e recorre também às teorias da Ciência da Informação, bem como na relação da organização do conhecimento com a tecnologia. Esse aporte é, por sua vez, relacionado ao campo da Arte e da Cultura Digital, considerando as peculiaridades das artes digitais, cujos trabalhos, geralmente realizados de forma colaborativa, são muitas vezes efêmeros, uma vez que disponibilizados para atualização. Considera-se que a maior dificuldade quanto ao tratamento das artes digitais é exatamente seu caráter paradoxal, uma vez que procura-se registrá-la mantendo a possibilidade de sua reutilização e/ou atualização. A metodologia utilizada é qualitativa e exploratória, mobilizando teorias de tratamento e exemplos concretos de organização adotados institucionalmente. Exploramos os conceitos de documento e documentação no âmbito da tecnologia e da arte e procuramos apresentar possibilidades de práticas documentais passíveis de serem utilizadas no trato de acervos e sistemas para a informação das artes digitais. A análise de casos concretos de sites de arte digital organizados por consórcios e outros tipos de instituições permite descrever os vários recursos informacionais utilizados, incluindo problemas de interoperabilidade e de preservação adotados. A sistematização das características das iniciativas analisadas permite identificar semelhanças e diferenças entre as formas de tratamento. Observamos que os ambientes de informação das artes digitais são estruturados de maneira complexa, uma vez que, além de utilizar mídias audiovisuais e tecnologias computacionais diversas, caracterizam-se por trabalhar com conteúdos heterogêneos e com uma diversidade de tipologias documentais. / The subject matter of this research addresses information treatment in digital ambience.

It aims to analyze technical publications of the FAB, in its descriptive and thematic components, in order to obtain elements to subsidize a faceted classification and to apply the principles of the faceted classification, to define the classificatory categories and facets, seeking for improvements in the Information retrieval to users. A classification of FAB technical publications requires specialized treatment for the organization of the collection and the retrieval of intellectual content. This study describes the Classification Theory, especially the Facet Classification, and about characteristics of Knowledge Organization Systems and Information Retrieval Systems. This is an exploratory research, a documentary analysis, carried out in two phases, being the first an analysis of the technical publications and the second an analysis of principles of the faceted classification. It presents as main results the identification of the characteristics and peculiarities of the technical publications of the operation and maintenance of FAB aircraft and the definition of terms, the categorization of the facets and grouping of the terms within each facet in the composition of the classification proposed for organization and representation of the documents In the FAB libraries. The conclusion on the feasibility of using the fundamental principles of the Facet Classification Theory for the organization and representation of the documents of operation and maintenance of the Brazilian Air Force aircraft.

Subject of information entity is one of the fundamental concepts in the field of information science. Subject of any document represents its intellectual potential -- 'aboutness' of the document. Traditionally, subject (along with title and author) is the one of three major ways to access information, so subject metadata plays a central role in this process and the role is constantly growing. Previous research concluded that the larger bibliographic database is, the richer subject vocabularies and classification schemes are needed to support information discovery. Further, a high proportion of information objects are unretrievable without subject headings in metadata records. This exploratory study provides the analysis of the subject metadata in MARC 21 bibliographic records created in 2020; and develops understanding of the level and patterns of 'aboutness' representation in the MARC 21 bibliographic records. Study also examines how these records apply the recent RDA and MARC21 guidelines and features intended to support functionality in a Linked Data environment. Methods of Social Network Analysis were applied along with content analysis, to answer research questions of this study. Suggestions for future research, implications for education, and practical recommendations for library metadata creation and management are discussed.

Depuis quelques années, Internet est devenu un média incontournable pour la diffusion de ressources multilingues. Cependant, les différences linguistiques constituent souvent un obstacle majeur aux échanges de documents scientifiques, culturels, pédagogiques et commerciaux. En plus de cette diversité linguistique, on constate le développement croissant de bases de données et de collections composées de différents types de documents textuels ou multimédias, ce qui complexifie également le processus de repérage documentaire. En général, on considère l’image comme « libre » au point de vue linguistique. Toutefois, l’indexation en vocabulaire contrôlé ou libre (non contrôlé) confère à l’image un statut linguistique au même titre que tout document textuel, ce qui peut avoir une incidence sur le repérage. Le but de notre recherche est de vérifier l’existence de différences entre les caractéristiques de deux approches d’indexation pour les images ordinaires représentant des objets de la vie quotidienne, en vocabulaire contrôlé et en vocabulaire libre, et entre les résultats obtenus au moment de leur repérage. Cette étude suppose que les deux approches d’indexation présentent des caractéristiques communes, mais également des différences pouvant influencer le repérage de l’image. Cette recherche permet de vérifier si l’une ou l’autre de ces approches d’indexation surclasse l’autre, en termes d’efficacité, d’efficience et de satisfaction du chercheur d’images, en contexte de repérage multilingue. Afin d’atteindre le but fixé par cette recherche, deux objectifs spécifiques sont définis : identifier les caractéristiques de chacune des deux approches d’indexation de l’image ordinaire représentant des objets de la vie quotidienne pouvant influencer le repérage, en contexte multilingue et exposer les différences sur le plan de l’efficacité, de l’efficience et de la satisfaction du chercheur d’images à repérer des images ordinaires représentant des objets de la vie quotidienne indexées à l’aide d’approches offrant des caractéristiques variées, en contexte multilingue. Trois modes de collecte des données sont employés : l’analyse des termes utilisés pour l’indexation des images, la simulation du repérage d’un ensemble d’images indexées selon chacune des formes d’indexation à l’étude réalisée auprès de soixante répondants, et le questionnaire administré aux participants pendant et après la simulation du repérage. Quatre mesures sont définies pour cette recherche : l’efficacité du repérage d’images, mesurée par le taux de succès du repérage calculé à l’aide du nombre d’images repérées; l’efficience temporelle, mesurée par le temps, en secondes, utilisé par image repérée; l’efficience humaine, mesurée par l’effort humain, en nombre de requêtes formulées par image repérée et la satisfaction du chercheur d’images, mesurée par son autoévaluation suite à chaque tâche de repérage effectuée. Cette recherche montre que sur le plan de l’indexation de l’image ordinaire représentant des objets de la vie quotidienne, les approches d’indexation étudiées diffèrent fondamentalement l’une de l’autre, sur le plan terminologique, perceptuel et structurel. En outre, l’analyse des caractéristiques des deux approches d’indexation révèle que si la langue d’indexation est modifiée, les caractéristiques varient peu au sein d’une même approche d’indexation. Finalement, cette recherche souligne que les deux approches d’indexation à l’étude offrent une performance de repérage des images ordinaires représentant des objets de la vie quotidienne différente sur le plan de l’efficacité, de l’efficience et de la satisfaction du chercheur d’images, selon l’approche et la langue utilisées pour l’indexation. / During the last few years, the Internet has become an indispensable medium for the dissemination of multilingual resources. However, language differences are often a major obstacle to the exchange of scientific, cultural, educational and commercial documents. Besides this linguistic diversity, many databases and collections now contain documents in various formats that can also adversely affect their retrieval process. In general, images are considered to be language-independent resources. Nevertheless, the image indexing process using either a controlled or uncontrolled vocabulary gives the image a linguistic status similar to any other textual document and thus leads to the same difficulties in their retrieval. The goal of our research is to first identify the differences between the indexing approaches using a controlled and an uncontrolled vocabulary for ordinary images of everyday-life objects and to then differentiate between the results obtained at the time of image retrieval. This study supposes that the two indexing approaches show not only common characteristics, but also differences that can influence image retrieval. Thus, this research makes it possible to indicate if one of these indexing approaches surpasses the other in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction of the image searcher in a multilingual retrieval context. For this study, two specific objectives are defined: to identify the characteristics of each approach used for ordinary image indexing of everyday-life objects that can effect image retrieval in a multilingual context; and to explore the differences between the two indexing approaches in terms of their effectiveness, their efficiency, and the satisfaction of the image searcher when trying to retrieve ordinary images of everyday-life objects indexed according to either approach in a multilingual retrieval context. Three methods of data collection are used: an analysis of the image indexing terms, a simulation of the retrieval of a set of images indexed according to each of the two indexing approaches conducted with sixty respondents, and a questionnaire submitted to the participants during and after the retrieval simulation. Four measures are defined in this research: the effectiveness of image retrieval measured by the success rate calculated in terms of the number of retrieved images; time efficiency measured by the average time, in seconds, used to retrieve an image; human efficiency measured in terms of the human effort represented per average number of queries necessary to retrieve an image; and the satisfaction of the image searcher measured by the self-evaluation of the participant of the retrieval process after each completed task. This research shows that in terms of ordinary image indexing representing everyday-life objects, the two approaches investigated are fundamentally distinct on the terminological, perceptual, and structural perspective. Additionally, the analysis of the characteristics of the two indexing approaches reveals that if the indexing language differs, the characteristics vary little within the same indexing approach. Finally, this research underlines that the two indexing approaches of ordinary images representing everyday-life objects have a retrieval performance that is different in terms of its effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction of the image searcher according to the approach and the language used for indexing.

Knowledge retention plays an important role in combating organisational knowledge loss. However, some organisations, including mining companies, still lose organisational knowledge due to employees retiring, resigning, downsizing, attrition and so on. This leaves the companies with a shortage of qualified and senior, experienced employees to meet production needs, which has a negative impact on the running of the operational functions on a day-to-day basis. This qualitative study utilised the knowledge-retention model as a theoretical framework to investigate knowledge-retention strategies at a platinum mine in the North West province in South Africa. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 employees of the platinum mine in North West province who were chosen purposively, as well as organisational document review. The key findings revealed that although the mine has a knowledge-retention policy, some of the employees are not aware of its existence and there is no enough investment in knowledge-retention initiatives within the organisation. The study concludes by arguing that having knowledge retention policy, strategies and initiatives on paper but failing to implement is as good as not having it. The study recommends that management become involved, support knowledge-retention initiatives, and ensure that knowledge retention policy is implemented in the organisation. / Information Science / M.A. (Information Science)
