IKHS - Indexing and Knowledge in Human Sciences

Work presentation road-map for the participants

We suggest a road-map so that all the participants present their own approach according to a similar structured way, that will provide guidelines to the workshop. All the participants should present their work according to this roadmap in a paper communication which should be :
  • In English
  • From 3 to 5 pages long
  • It should be sent before March 15th to
  • sylvie.calabretto at insa-lyon.fr
  • The paper format is available at http://www.sdc2006.org/proposition article.html



  • 1) Short presentation of the approach :
  • Goal of the project from the point if view of a researcher in Human Sciences. Please try to situate your contribution in one of the following purposes :
    1. To retrieve in documents the “knowledge” that scientists (in human sciences) mobilize in order to establish a result (reasoning underlying scientific results);
    2. To study or edit the way a scientific makes use of sources to produce a result (research steps is considered here as an epistemological data to measure the result validity) ;
    3. To share scientific sources and documents in order to stimulate the dynamic of research ;
    4. To develop search tools to be applied on primary data
  • Handled data: raw data (primary sources) against sources modified for a better indexing (secondary sources)
  • If any software : functionalities, target users ;



  • 2) Detailed presentation of the approach:
  • Nature of the models:
    - Type of content;
    - Data model;
    - Degree of formalization;
    - Ambition: to create some knowledge, to reach a consensus, to support dialogue between scientific streams, …
  • Nature of the documents:
    - Factual descriptions versus reasoning (argumentative texts),
    - Degree of structure of these texts : linear vs. structured, …
  • Way of designing the models:
    - What are the used knowledge sources used? who is responsible for the model contents?
    - What are the model life cycle? Is there any maintenance process?
  • What are the connexions between models and documents (indexing? annotation?) Who is setting these connexions and how? what is the purpose?



  • 3) Methodological aspect, importance of cross-disciplinary research:
  • How was the approach defined?
  • What is the official position of human scientists concerning their data patrimony and their access to data?
  • How much does technology influence this position?
  • Is a cross-disciplinary research a major challenge to better study the question of the access to the content of documents? How can it be set?



  • 4) Demonstrations, practical session to test and use the tools:
  • Protocol to use the tools and its results ;
  • Are the tools or frameworks providing an easier access to some resources or collections useful in the researchers’ activity in human sciences : data, knowledge and results about these data?
  • Are they forming new tools to be used by the researcher? How?



  • 5) Comparison of the different approaches (models and tools) about one particular question:
  • what does each approach propose to represent knowledge about dating (periodisation)?
  • what does each approach propose when dealing with contradictory interpretations ?
