Produção interdisciplinar na ciência da informação: abordagem nos domínios da Arquitetura da Informação

Abstract

The interdisciplinarity is treated as one of the main foundations of Information Science. The interdisciplinary production in the area is characterized by the complexity of the object information, the plural formation of researchers and the consequent convergence with other disciplines that interface with the Information Science. It seeks to understand the theoretical and methodological elements that contribute to interdisciplinary production in the fields of information architecture in the field of Information Science. This is an exploratory and descriptive research. Therefore, it seeks to map the scientific production of the National Meeting of Research in Information Science (ENANCIB) in the 2003-2013 period in the repository "Network Issues". It uses a triadic methodological confluence for systematization and analysis of data through bibliometrics, the social network analysis and content analysis to serve procedures that can identify paratextual and textual elements with bibliometric indicators, the formation of social networks with the interactions of researchers, disciplines and areas of knowledge and understanding of the theoretical and methodological elements from logical deductions based on content analysis. It were found in the production of information architecture some elements supporting the interdisciplinary production in information science, namely the plural formation of researchers that address this topic in the field of Information Science, convergences of evidence interdisciplinary productions from the collaboration co-authored the formation of social networks among researchers representing the juxtapositions of different disciplines and areas of scientific knowledge, with highlights for the Librarianship and Computer Science. There are references of sharing theoretical and methodological elements that take place around the organization processes, representation and retrieval of information, although it is considered the need for further deepening the explicitness of processuality these elements that support interdisciplinary practices in the area.
