知识网络研究（Ⅰ）——知识网络概念演进之探究

Study on Knowledge Network （Part Ⅰ ）—The Exploration of Evolution of Knowledge Network

本文首次对知识网络概念的演进进行了全面、系统的探索性研究。首先，从科学学说的角度探讨了在知识网络概念演进过程中早期提出的知识网络形态及其相关学说，从普赖斯的“科学论文的网络”到布鲁克斯的“认识地图”以及“知识地图”、“知识基因”再到“知识网络”的出现，分析了在知识网络概念演进中从不同研究视角和研究背景下产生的各种概念，并从科学学说的高度归纳为“地图说”、“基因说”、“网络说”和“知识载体形态说”四种学说。然后，从科学哲学的角度揭示出知识网络概念演进的哲学规律：①知识网络概念的产生与认识经历了一个曲折的探索过程；②人类对知识网络认识的探索是始于网络并终于网络、由表（文献网络）及里（知识本体的网络空间结构）的螺旋上升的认识发展过程；③知识网络的出现是人类对知识文明保藏和传播方式从平面向立体化、空间化、虚拟化方式延伸的必然结果。

This paper explores evolution of the notion of Knowledge Network for the first time. Firstly, the evolution of the concept of knowledge network is discussed from ＂Network of Scientific Papers＂ by Price to Brooks＇ ＂Knowledge Map＂, ＂Knowledge Gene＂ and ＂Knowledge Network＂. Various concepts in different research viewpoints and research background in the evolution of the concept of knowledge network axe analyzed. Four theories axe concluded as ＂Theory of Map＂, ＂Theory of Gene＂, ＂Theory of Network＂ and ＂Theory of Knowledge Forms＂ from the aspect of discipline of science. Philosophical rules of the concept evolution of knowledge network are expounded： the emergence and recognition of the concept of knowledge network have experienced a winding exploring process. People＇ s exploring on the recognition of knowledge network is a spiral development process originating from network and ending with network, from the outwards （bibliography network） to inwards （network space structure of knowledge itself）. The emergence of knowledge network is the necessary result of people＇ s preserving knowledge civilization methods from plane to the extension of three-dimensional, space and virtual.
