DESCRIPTION:Boundaries\, Borders\, and Information Needs: Examining Concept
 s in Information Systems\n\nThis talk addresses epistemology\, or how we k
 now what we know\, of data and data science. It examines concepts and auth
 ors as links between science\, information\, and knowledge\, as well as na
 tural and constructed boundaries. Using Star and Griesemer’s notion of the
  boundary object I argue two points: 1) that boundaries are useful aids in
  examining the thematic and sociological currents in information and 2) th
 at concepts themselves can serve as practical aids in information seeking.
  This is important in order to understand and analyze the creation and sur
 rounding contexts of knowledge\, in addition to shortening the time for se
 rendipity in information seeking (Foster and Ford\, 2003). Work presented 
 in this talk used a domain-centric approach for the broad transdisciplinar
 y area of cognitive science. Data spanning the years 2006-2016 were drawn 
 from the Web of Science® using a seed and expand approach for journals con
 taining the string “cogni*\,” and analyzed against the National Science Fo
 undation classification of scientific journals using natural language proc
 essing. Title data were processed to extract and compare boundary-spanning
  concepts temporally\, and show an increase in the diversity of conceptual
  content in the core of cognitive science. Boundary-spanning concepts are 
 addressed\, and the case of Alzheimer’s Disease as a boundary concept is a
 ddressed. A test case surrounding the complex information problem of rage 
 from the perspective of youth is used to illustrate the practicality of th
 is approach to aid in the information retrieval process. Next steps for an
 alysis and studies are outlined\, showing an exciting potential for future
  work in concept-based classification and retrieval to assist in our under
 standing of how knowledge is created\, stored\, and how to better use know
 ledge stored in information systems\n
