Development of Encyclopedia of Social Informatics in the Web

从社会信息系统的角度探讨了网上社会信息学百科全书的开发。一个可行的社会信息学百科全书原型系统已经开发出来，该百科全书系统积累了使用邮寄列表发布到系统中的材料。这本百科全书一定是网络共享的典型例子。为了进一步的发展，我们构想了一个面向社会信息学的建模平台，并提出了一个多智能体仿真与数字图书馆集成的平台--社会信息学。该平台将能够支持对社交网络和人工社会感兴趣的研究人员。我们还开发了一个可视化系统，支持在百科全书上发布信息和知识。该可视化系统基于段落句子中的术语与涉及社会信息学的新兴文献的关系来可视化显示中的术语。我们使用模型和模拟来探索新兴的社会现象。以需求链管理系统为模型，模拟了从客户需求到供应商的信息流。我们发现，该管理系统可以作为一个信息网络，在供应商和客户之间起到中介作用，从而提高客户满意度。通过与电话和个人计算机电子邮件的比较，我们考察了移动通信在学生之间交换信息的各种人的特性，发现移动通信的一个特性是，尽管信息交流的机会增加了，但移动通信的人的多样性并不比通过个人计算机的电子邮件增加。将赢家通吃现象描述为一个模型，模拟了商品选择的集中趋势，发现信息渠道数量的增加可能会扩散集中的趋势。

Development of encyclopedia of social informatics in the Web is discussed in a perspective of social information systems. A prototype system of viable encyclopedia of social informatics has developed, and the encyclopedia system accumulates material that is posted to the system employing mailing list. This encyclopedia must be a typical example of cyber commons. For the further developments, we conceptualize a modeling platform for the social informatics, and propose Socio-Informatica that is a platform in to integrate multi-agent simulation with digital library. The platform will be able to support researchers who are interested in social network and artificial society.We also develop a visualization system to support posting information and knowledge to the encyclopedia. The visualization system visualizes the terms in the display based on relations of terms in sentences of a paragraph with respect to emerging literatures concerning social informatics.We explore emerging social phenomena employing models and simulations. A demand chain management system is formulated as a model, and simulated information flow with respect to customer demand to venders. We find that the management system may be promising as an information network to improve customer satisfaction intermediated by a mediator between venders and customers. We examine properties of mobile communication with respect to variety of persons who exchange messages among students in comparison that with telephone and with e-mail by personal computer, and find a property of mobile communication that the mobile communication may not increase variety of the persons as contrasted with e-mail by personal computer in spite of increase in opportunity of massage exchanges. Winner-take-all phenomena are formulated as a model, simulated a tendency of concentration in choices of goods, and find that increases in the numbers of information channels may proliferate the tendency of concentration.
