Nanopublicação e indexação: interlocuções semânticas, pragmáticas e discursiva em aplicações mtodológicas

Abstract

This dissertation proposes a methodology based on experimentations for the development of information organization environments in digital form that enables the indexing of documents in context. The study started from the following question: how can a method of information organization based on indexation and nanopublication guide the construction of recoverable information content units and have semantic, pragmatic, and discursive coherence? It is presented, the concept of nanopublication and it is established an interconnection between this emerging mode of information representation in digital environments and the guidelines postulated by the information indexing process. The concept of nanopublication, interfaced with indexing, under the organization of information processes in context, aims at som guidelines to establish mechanisms that ebable an information representation model in virtual environments for the spread of networked knowledge. As for the specific objetives, it was identified the methodological feasibility of integrating the principles of indexing to the modeling of nanopublications. The semantic, pragmatic, and discursive aspects concerning the representation of information in digital environments were also analyzed. Correlations between representation of information in digital environments, and technological applications wrere established. Evidences were also located by suggesting an interface that could configure knowledge distribution network in metadata models as revealed by nanopublications. It was carried out a literature review around the concepts used in the development of the experiments. Still. it was located the conceptual comparison on the theme of the nanopublications and indexing along with the linguistic aspects that guided the modeling experiments of nanopublications. The methodology was established from the structuring and analysis of data in three dimensions that are considered fundamental to the organization of information in digital environments: the informational dimension the computational sphere, and the interface. The informational dimension of the mehod was established by generating the mapping of the elements of the corpus, by the conceptual extraction, by applyng the indexing principles, and by the modeling of the nanopublication. The computational dimension iwas formulated from semantic classifiers (tropes sftware) and semantic web languages (XML and RDF). The interface consisted of the definition of essential aspects to help the user-researcher and user-manager of information. Articles from "Google Scholar" and the "Scielo" database related to concept of "nethnography" and "innovation" were" selected and analyzed. The results of the experiment demonstrated the potencial and the efficiency of the nanopublications in the construction of retrievable information content units withs semantic, pragmatic, and discursive coherence from the methodological dialogue with the indexing principles. The proposed experiments in this dissertation grave birth to the concept of nanodocument, which can be considered an element of discursive a product for the representation of information and knowledge composed of enunciation and discursive elements referenced by semantic and pragmatic components, structured around semantic web technologies. It was concluded that, given the visible advances in knowledge and resulting information network explosion, it must be searched methods of information organization in dynamic contexts to support and boost the increasing use of document production. The methodology of information organization, based on indexing and nanopublication developed within this dissertation, is consistent with this perspective.
