Data, not documents: Moving beyond theories of information‐seeking behavior to advance data discovery

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 649-664, April 2025.
Abstract Many theories of human information behavior (HIB) assume that information objects are in text document format. This paper argues four important HIB theories are insufficient for describing users' search strategies for data because of assumptions about the attributes of objects that users seek.

Adequacy of Decompositions of Relational Databases

Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 1980
AbstractWe consider conditions that have appeared in the literature with the purpose of defining a “good” decomposition of a relation scheme. We show that these notions are equivalent in the case that all constraints in the database are functional dependencies. This result solves an open problem of Rissanen.

Essential work, invisible workers: The role of digital curation in COVID‐19 Open Science

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 703-717, April 2025.
Abstract In this paper, we examine the role digital curation practices and practitioners played in facilitating open science (OS) initiatives amid the COVID‐19 pandemic. In Summer 2023, we conducted a content analysis of available information regarding 50 OS initiatives that emerged—or substantially shifted their focus—between 2020 and 2022 to address ...

Object-Oriented Views of Relational Databases Incorporating Behaviour [PDF]

, 1995
The derivation of object-oriented (OO) views of relational databases has been a important research topic, in particular in the context of federated databases using an OOmodel as the common datamodel. So far, such views have concerned data structures only.

Persistent Functional Languages: Toward Functional Relational Databases [PDF]

, 2014
Functional languages provide new approaches to concurrency control, based on techniques such as lazy evaluation and memoization. We have designed and implemented a persistent functional language based on these ideas, which we plan to use for the ...

Developing a critical caste analysis within information science and technology: A research review: An annual review of information science and technology paper

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Caste—an ascriptive social hierarchy in South Asia and its diaspora—is a globalized phenomenon. Recent caste‐based discrimination, particularly in technology companies and anti‐caste efforts to address it, has compelled academia, policy, and the technology industry to better understand contemporary mechanics of caste.

Transforming Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data From Relational Databases to XML

IEEE Access, 2018
On account of the poor shareability of fuzzy spatiotemporal data in Web while XML could contribute to information performance and information interaction flexibly, we study the methodology of modeling the fuzzy spatiotemporal data based on relational ...

Affective dimensions in the information behavior of forcibly displaced people: A literature review. An Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST) paper

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This review analyzed 241 scholarly articles published between 2010 and 2025 in information science venues to examine how affect shapes refugees' information behavior during forced migration and to identify additional contextual factors. It identifies seven affective dimensions: anxiety, shame and stigma, grief and loss, frustration, (mis)trust,

Methodological challenges in content‐based citation analysis: Expertise, reliability, and the primacy of citance identification

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Content‐based citation analysis seeks to capture the meaning and functions of citations but continues to face unresolved methodological challenges. This study analyzes a stratified sample of library and information science publications to examine how citance segmentation and annotator expertise influence the consistency of classification ...
