Research on Transdisciplinarity: Knowledge Representation
and Conceptual Integration
by Anthony Judge
Conceptual integration
The challenge for the international community to provide some form of
conceptual integration across disciplinary and cultural boundaries has
resulted in a continuing series of studies on integrative approaches, interdisciplinarity
and configurations of insights.
Patterns of Conceptual Integration
(1984)
A 5-fold Pattern Language (1984)
Liberation of integration: pattern,
oscillation, harmony and embodiment (1984)
Integrative Dimensions of Concept Sets:
transformation with minimal distortion between implicitness and explicitness
of set representations according to constraints on communicability
(1981)
Presentation of GPID Integration Through
Functional Classification of International Organizations (1980)
Concept Factors in Concept Scheme Integration:
GPIO as a case study (1980)
Notes on Vector Equilibrium (1980)
Patterns of N-foldness: comparison of
integrated multi-set concept schemes as forms of presentation (1980)
Representation, Comprehension and Communication
of Sets: the role of number (1980)
Integrative Dimensions of Concept Sets:
transformations with minimal distortion between implicitness and explicitness
of set representation according to constraints on communicability (1980)
Visualization and Presentation
of information
In the light of the increasing need to communicate more complex and
dynamic insights, studies continue to be made of ways of presenting information
in a more comprehensible manner. These investigations are currently extending
into the use of network maps and metaphors and patterns.
Information systems
Because of the intimate relationships between organizational networks
and the information systems which they develop or on which they depend,
a number of studies have been made of the problems associated with emerging
information systems and their implications for organizations.
