<strong>Rainer</strong> <strong>Kuhlen</strong> The pragmatic added-value of infonnation page SO<br />
Therefore one eould argue that information is not different from the<br />
original subset of knowledge but is only a new persepetive (a view) on<br />
existing knowledge. However, we prefer not to restriet information work to<br />
the selection of parts of knowledge from a eertain point of view but would<br />
like to describe the proeess of the transformation of knowledge into information<br />
as a value-adding process. The transformation produees informationaI<br />
surplus vaIue.<br />
Systematically, it is possible to distinguish between indirect vaIue-adding<br />
proeesses and direct vaIue-adding proeesses. Indirect proeesses have more of<br />
a support function, whereas direct proeesses produee surplus values<br />
immediately.<br />
Examples of indirect value-adding taken from the domain of natural<br />
language proeessing are:<br />
• naturallanguage aeeess to a data base<br />
• aeoustie input faeilities<br />
• automatie translation support on different levels<br />
ward levtl: multilingual thesauri in order to facilitate a multilingual query<br />
formulation for retrieval purposes<br />
sentmee level: controlled syntax for writing multilingual abstracts<br />
tat levtl: automatie translation of full texts<br />
• graphieally supported presentation of retrieval results<br />
Examples of direct value-adding are:<br />
• automatieally produeed flexible text eondensates<br />
• inferenee proeedures from existing knowledge structures
