Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of aboutness and conceptual analysis, essential concepts for LIS practitioners to understand. Aboutness refers to the subject matter and genre/form properties of a resource. It is identified during conceptual analysis, which yields an aboutness statement, a summary of a resource's aboutness. While few scholars have discussed the aboutness determination process in detail, the methods described by Patrick Wilson, D.W. Langridge, Arlene G. Taylor, and Daniel N. Joudrey provide exemplary frameworks for determining aboutness and are presented here. Discussions of how to construct an aboutness statement and the challenges associated with aboutness determination follow.

摘要

本文的目的是提供有关概述和概念分析的概述，这是LIS从业人员可以理解的基本概念。亲近度是指资源的主题和体裁/形式属性。它在概念分析过程中被识别，并产生一个关于关联性的摘要，即对资源的关联性的摘要。尽管很少有学者详细讨论过关于确定性的过程，但Patrick Wilson，DW Langridge，Arlene G. Taylor和Daniel N. Joudrey所描述的方法提供了确定确定性的示例性框架，并在此处进行介绍。随后讨论如何构造关于性声明以及与有关性确定相关的挑战。
