Abstract

It is necessary, due to changes in the information environment, to investigate problems in existing information retrieval systems. Ontologies and social tagging, which are a relatively new means of information organization, enable exploratory discovery of information. These two connect a thought of a user with the thoughts of numerous other people on the Internet. With these connection chains through the interactions, users are foraging information actively and exploratively. Thus, the purpose of this study is, through qualitative research methods, to identify numerous discovery facilitators provided by ontologies and social tagging, and to create an exploratory discovery model based on them. The results show that there are three uppermost categories in which 5, 4 and 4 subcategories are enumerated respectively. The first category, 'Browsing and Monitoring,' has 5 sub categories: Noticing the Needs, Being Aware, Perceiving, Stopping, and Examining a Resource. The second category, Actively Participating, has 4 categories: Constructing Meaning, Social Bookmarking and Tagging, Sharing on Social Networking, Specifying the Original Needs. The third category, Actively Extends Thinking, also has 4 categories: Social Learning, Emerging Fortuitous Discovery, Creative Thinking, Enhancing Problem Solving Abilities. This model could contribute to the design of information systems, which enhance the ability of exploratory discovery.

이 논문에서는 기존 정보검색모델에서의 문제점을 살펴보고 그 대안을 제시하고 있다. 정보환경의 변화에 따라 '개념'중심의 새로운 정보조직인 온톨로지와 소셜태깅은 탐험적 발견행위를 가능하게 해줄 수 있다. 이들을 통해 어느 한 이용자의 머릿속에 있는 생각을 인터넷상의 수많은 사람의 머릿속에 있는 생각을 연결해주고 있다. 이러한 상호작용을 통한 연결고리를 통해서 이젠 이용자들이 탐험적으로, 적극적으로 정보를 찾아 나서고 있다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 질적인 연구방법론으로 온톨로지와 소셜태깅에서 제공되는 수많은 탐색촉진제의 존재를 밝힌 후, 하나의 탐험적 발견행위 모델을 만들어내는 것이다. 그 결과는 먼저 3개의 상위그룹이 형성되었다. 첫째, 브라우징 및 모니터링으로 어떤 대상을 인지 및 집중하는 단계, 둘째, 의미부여로 적극적인 참여 및 공유하는 단계이며 셋째는 더 적극적으로 생각을 확장시켜나가면서 스스로 사회적 학습을 하는 단계였다. 제일 첫 그룹에는 정보요구인지, 소셜공간에서 도움 필요성인지, 도움을 받을 수 있는 자료 발견, 일단 멈춤, 그 대상에 집중등의 단계가 있었다. 두 번째 그룹에는 적극적 의미형성, 소셜 북마킹 및 태깅, 소셜 네트워크에서 나눔, 처음 정보요구를 더 구체화하는 단계가 있었다. 세 번째는, 발견적인 소셜학습, 우연한 정보 발견, 창조적 생각을 유발, 문제 해결 능력향상 등의 총 13단계를 발견하게 되었다. 이 모델은 이용자들이 탐험적 발견행위를 할 수 있는 능력을 향상하게 시키는 정보시스템 디자인에 공헌할 수 있을 것이다.
