متن کاملInformation Awareness and Representation
This paper discusses how information representation affects the degree and character of awareness afforded by computer systems: awareness of people and of information artifacts. Our discussion ranges from system design to theoretical concepts, and we aim to link and show consistencies across this spectrum. We begin by describing a prototype collaborative filtering system, Recer. This system tra...
متن کاملHermeneutics, information and representation
By drawing from semiology, epistemology and philosophical hermeneutics, we discuss the way that computer systems, particularly systems used in collaborative work, represent information, situation and activity. In other words, we focus on approaches to representation in design for computer–supported collaborative work (CSCW). We point out similarities between discourse in hermeneutics and in the...
