Discussion of automatic abstracting of technical papers focuses on a knowledge-based method that uses two sets of rules. Topics discussed include anaphora; text structure and discourse; abstracting techniques, including the keyword method and the indicator phrase method; and tools for text skimming.

This paper focuses primarily on cognitive science contributions to the study of scientific knowledge. Scientific knowledge is highly reputed and considered the most genuine kind of knowledge available, and science has a well established system of communication and information services. As such, they constitute a prototypical information system, if not the prototypical information system. If traced back to the scientific revolution in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the advent of science is closely linked to a major technological innovation: the printing press, upon which the entire information system is still based. I shall first consider some cognitive aspects of the introduction of the printing press along the lines of Eisenstein's (1979) notion of `collective cumulative advance'. Then, I shall briefly explore what such a progressive development could mean in terms of one of the favourite models of scientific advance--the gestaltswitch type of discovery--and what `cognitive' and the role of knowledge means in the cognitive trend expressed in artificial intelligence and cognitive science of the last decade. In a detailed analysis of a process of puzzle solving, I shall consider how various segments of knowledge are brought to bear upon a specific task of puzzle reconstruction. Application to a case dealt with by Eisenstein should permit assessment of both her claim with respect to representation technology and claims for more dynamic models of information-seeking and knowledge construction (including novice-expert transition and machine learning).

Bridging between cognitive paradigms for Development-relevant |

Abstract of a paper proposed for the FID/CR Seminar on: Classification Research in an Electronic Information Era (Sub-theme: Cognitive paradigms and their application to knowledge classification) on the occasion of the 49th FID Conference and Congress of the International Federation for Information and Documentation (New Delhi, October 1998). |

The paper reports on progress and prospects in detecting and working with such functional loops and their implications for users with contrasting cognitive paradigm preferences. In a multi-cultural society torn by fragmented modalities, this relates to the fundamental challenge of bridging between cognitive paradigms as a basis for new forms of policy coherence whether at the local or the global level. In this connection, faced with the current pursuit of geographic "globalization", the paper stresses the neglected challenges of integration of knowledge into "global" patterns as a context for the multitude of fragmented "local" understandings.The paper then identifies some of the challenges of the immediate future in applying available technology and know-how to the knowledge organization issues faced in a developing global society.
