Subjectivity as a concern for information science:
a Popperian perspective
Subjectivity is discussed in the context of information processing,
and its properties are considered in relation to Popper's three
Worlds model of information. The uncertainties that subjectivity
creates are seen as central to some problematic issues of information
handling, including classification and retrieval. An appreciation
of problems relating to subjectivity also has relevance in several
subject areas of interest to information science, including understanding,
relevance and significance, knowledge management, and creativity.
