Theoretical and applicational reflections on the role of the concept of information in the context of the theories of knowledge and action

本研究揭示了信息的概念和应用在网络普及的时代已经改变了“知”的概念。传统的知识理论已经在知识的内容及其原因方面陷入困境，如在Gettier问题中，现在已经被理解为“知道”的含义包括“能够访问Web上的信息”。这种情况已经被意识到作为书籍和图书馆，哪一个，虽然，比个人的知识更多的社会机构。在互联网上工作，个人面对终端，直接与远程服务器通信，从而了解世界上的事情。本研究还表明，使这种互联网状况成为可能的技术可以被定义为“道德”，可以用标记语言XML来描述代表知识的文件，从知识论的角度来看，图书馆的概念，特别是数字图书馆的概念，可以从增强的互联网的角度来理解。

The present research has revealed the concept and application of of information has changed the concept of "knowing" in the age of the pervasive Internet situation. The conventional theory of knowledge, which has been already in trouble in terms of the content of knowledge and its causes as in the Gettier problem, has now been undermined by the understanding that the meaning of "knowing" includes "being able to access to information on the Web." This situation has already been realized as books and libraries, which, though, were so much more of social institutions than individuals' knowledge. Working on the Internet, individuals are facing terminals, communicating with remote servers directly, thereby knowing things in the world. The present study also made it clear that the technology that has made this Internet situation possible could be defined as "ethical," that the description of documents which represent knowledge can be done in a markup language, XML, and that from the standpoint of the theory of knowledge, the concept of library and, in particular, the concept of digital library, can be understood in terms of the enhanced Internet.
