Title

Measurement in information science : objective and subjective metrical space

Source

Journal of the American Society for Information Science. 30(1979), S.248-255

Year

1979

Abstract

It is argued that in information science we have to distinguish physical, objective, or document space from perspective, subjective, or information space. These two spaces are like maps and landscapes: each is a systematic distortion of the other. However, transformations can be easily made once the two spaces are distinguished. If the transformations are omitted we only get unhelpful physical solutions to information problems
