Brief project description:
This project
investigates the information sector from an information
science perspective. Information management (IM) functions –
i.e. all functions and processes related to information selection,
information acquisition, information description, information
preservation, information product creation and information services -
will serve as a starting point.
One of the main goals is to identify and, as far as possible, to
measure the extent of IM functions in the Austrian national economy.
The methodology of research is based
- upon allocation of industries
to identified sectors of the economy and to segments within
them,
- on the use of an input-output matrix to represent the
structure of the
economy and the use of information segments within it by the various
sectors,
- upon measurement of the labor and capital involved in
information centers in each component of that structure, and,
- on
the resulting relation between information centers and the use of
information by the various sectors.
