Dear FIS Colleagues, First, I want to thank Pedro and everyone the opportunity to introduce, participate and observe the development of debate “THE FOURTH GREAT DOMAIN OF SCIENCE: INFORMATIONAL?”
I spent the last days documenting the posts related to this discussion. On this basis, I will present some numbers and comments about these rich discussions. 1) The debate has 114 posts in 26 subjects. The subjects were grouped by similarity and the count is shown in the table below. Subject # of posts THE FOURTH GREAT DOMAIN OF SCIENCE: INFORMATIONAL? 26 It From Bit 26 Philosophy, Computing, and Information - apologies! 16 It-from-Bit and information interpretation of QM 12 FIS newcomer 11 What are "information" and "science"? 7 Krassimir's Notes . . . 6 QM and information 2 We have different “fen clubs” depending of sympathy to one or other definition of information 2 Ada Lovelace inspires a question: why are so few women in FIS list? 2 Concluding the Session on the Great Domains 1 Thinking Out Loud – a “meaning (-ful/less) continuum” 1 information as physical entity 1 Garfield 1955 - organizing metadata for scientific literature 1 *Totals* 114 Of course, the subject of debate had the highest number of posts. The topic "It from bit", brought by Ken through a video, philosophical discussions about information was also of great interest. 2) 31 people participated in the debate. The number of each author posts and the number of times each one have been cited are in the table below: Post authors and cited Author Cited John Collier <colli...@ukzn.ac.za> 11 15 Loet Leydesdorff <l...@leydesdorff.net> 9 11 Marcus Abundis <55m...@gmail.com> 9 10 Joseph Brenner <joe.bren...@bluewin.ch> 8 8 Ken Herold <kher...@hamilton.edu> 7 5 Pedro C.

Despite the limitation of two messages per week, most of the participants contributed significantly. I believe that was many private messages, which unfortunately I did not have how to analyze. I had the opportunity to exchange a few private messages with Pedro, Ken, Bob, Capurro, Jhon, Loet and Joseph, and all was precious, thank you! 3) I also made a qualitative analysis of the posts that I will not bring here because it is very extensive. In particular, the group brought several topics from physics. This physical <---> information association is of great interest to my research (I study interdisciplinarity between physics and information science). If anyone is interested in the raw data this little analysis, just ask me. Thank you very much, Um abraço for all! Moisés -- Moisés André Nisenbaum Doutorando IBICT/UFRJ. Professor. Msc.
