“知识库”概念的扩散与内涵演化

The Diffusion and Connotation Evolution of the Concept of Knowledge Base

概念是科学理论的基础,很多理论的精髓往往凝结在一个概念之上。相对于稳定的符号化的表征,概念的内涵往往在传播扩散和认知学习过程中发生变化,由此导致概念内涵被扩大、缩小或修正。随着知识经济的发展,知识库建设正在成为各行业各领域开展知识管理和知识服务的基础。本文借助知识图谱分析软件CiteSpaceⅡ分析了1985年以来,"知识库"概念在中国大陆地区的扩散和演化情况。结果表明,"知识库"的概念首先产生于智能控制领域,随后逐步扩散到工程应用、计算机科学、图书情报、企业管理与教育科学等五个领域。在此发展过程中,"知识库"逐渐形成了两个方面的稳定内涵。

Concept is the foundation of academic theories, and the essence of many theories usually condenses in a con- cept. Compared with the stable symbolized characterization, the connotation of the concepts always change in the process of spreading, diffusion and being learned, which leads to the expanding, narrowing and rewriting of the concept connotation. With the development of knowledge economy, knowledge base construction is becoming the foundation to launch knowledge management and knowledge service in each field. This paper uses the software CiteSpace Ⅱ to analyze the process of the dif- fusion and evolution of the concept of knowledge base in China's Mainland since 1985. The results show that the concept of knowledge base was first produced in intelligent control field, and then gradually expanded to five fields engineering ap- plication, computer science, library ＆ information science, enterprise management and education. In this process, it gradu- ally formed relatively stable meaning in two aspects.
