本文借鉴两项跨学科信息使用研究的成果，提出了弱信息工作的概念。WIW的审查有关的模型如何不同层次的研究工作进行协调和第二个框架，划定研究问题的层面。从神经信息学案例研究的情况下，显示WIW是如何影响跨学科项目的大脑研究。基于我们的研究结果与现有的框架理解科学研究的问题和过程的整合，我们断言，当代跨学科研究可以受益于信息系统和服务，致力于支持一些线的WIW和其他转化为强大的信息工作。
Drawing on results from two studies of information use in interdisciplinary science, this paper develops the concept of weak information work (WIW). WIW is examined in relation to a model of how different levels of research work are coordinated and a second framework that delineates dimensions of research problems. Scenarios from neuroinformatics case studies are presented to show how WIW is impacting interdisciplinary projects in brain research. Based on the integration of our results with existing frameworks for understanding scientific research problems and processes, we assert that contemporary interdisciplinary research could benefit from information systems and services devoted to supporting some lines of WIW and by transforming others into strong information work.
