隐喻传达信息，传达抽象，帮助我们理解新概念。虽然新兴的信息行为领域(IB)已经在其模型中采用了一些常见的隐喻，如采摘浆果和弥合差距，但对人们如何使用隐喻的研究才刚刚出现在人类信息组织行为(HIOB)的子领域。为了方便用户与系统之间的对话，隐喻被广泛应用于人机交互中。通过对语言学和认知科学领域中有关隐喻的文献的探索，以及对人机交互中隐喻使用历史的考察，作为隐喻使用的案例研究，可以洞察隐喻在人类信息行为中的作用。编者按：本文是2008年丽塔/前利布里斯写作奖的获得者。
Metaphors convey information, communicate abstractions, and help us understand new concepts. While the nascent field of information behavior (IB) has adopted common metaphors like “berry-picking” and “gap-bridging” for its models, the study of how people use metaphors is only now emerging in the subfield of human information organizing behavior (HIOB). Metaphors have been adopted in human–computer interaction (HCI) to facilitate the dialogue between user and system. Exploration of the literature on metaphors in the fields of linguistics and cognitive science as well as an examination of the history of use of metaphors in HCI as a case study of metaphor usage offers insight into the role of metaphor in human information behavior.
