情报学基本原理的再认识

Rethinking the Foundational Principles of Information Science

现有情报学基本原理的应用频次普遍偏低。本文对现有情报学基本原理进行回顾与深入解析,对一些基本原理的合理性与不足进行深入分析,发现现有情报学基本原理体系的不合理之处主要体现在5个方面:对部分基本原理的阐述过于简单,部分基本原理将情报过程中的某些现象或处理步骤直接当作原理,部分基本原理缺乏配套解释或者解释不够透彻,对数透视原理缺乏足够的科学依据与实践案例,缺乏以情报为核心概念的基本原理。在此基础上,本文提出重建情报学基本原理体系的4点建议:以情报过程为着眼点提出一组基本原理,以情报过程中的一组情报行为为着眼点提出一组基本原理,从情报学范式的相关论述中汲取有价值的思想,剔除有定律对应的基本原理。

The application frequency of the foundational principles of information science is generally low. In this article,the foundational principles of existing information science are reviewed and analyzed;further, the rationality and deficiencies of certain foundational principles are examined. The article identifies some irrationality regarding the existing foundational principles of information science. Explanations of the principles are too simple. Some foundational principles directly regard some phenomena or processing steps in the intelligence process as principle. Some foundational principles lack supporting explanations entirely or have explanations that are not sufficiently thorough. For example, the logarithmic perspective principle lacks a sufficient scientific basis and practical case;it also lacks the foundational principles of intelligence in the core concept. This article includes four suggestions for reconstructing the foundational principles of information science. First, a set of foundational principles based on the intelligence process is proposed. Second, a set of foundational principles based on a group of intelligence behaviors in the intelligence process is also proposed. Third, valuable ideas from the relevant expositions of the paradigms in information science are considered. Finally, foundational principles derived from laws in the field of information science have been eliminated.
