Tracing Emerging Meanings by Computer: Semiotic Framework (original) (raw)

Abstract

The paper presents a semiotic approach to the study of knowledge creation processes. These processes are aimed at generating expert knowledge bases in different subject areas. Now we are studying this generating in scientometric and linguistic investigations. Our prime application aim is to create an expert knowledge base about new developed indicators for monitoring and evaluating implementation of R&D programs. Our approach consists of the six-part semiotic framework and two semiotic models for a description of development stages of indicators: the frozen-state model for describing a state of the process of indicator development and the time-dependent model for identifying a dynamics of the process of indicator development. These models are based on the Frege’s triangle, which consists of concept, name and denotatum vertices. For each state of new developed indicator these three vertices of the triangle are the sign-meaning (the indicator concept), the sign-form (the indicator nam...
