e) Some dual or more articles by one author appeared in <strong>the</strong> same journal. For<br />

example Baumol had four articles in <strong>the</strong> 1968 AM ECON REV, V58, However<br />

looking at <strong>the</strong> journal article usually gave an indication which one was relevant.<br />

The original citation included page references. However I had removed <strong>the</strong>m<br />

during <strong>the</strong> sorting process for convenience, which, in retrospect, was a bit<br />

premature.<br />

f) For <strong>the</strong> journal articles <strong>the</strong>re were not many that were reprints <strong>of</strong> previous articles,<br />

onl y one by Gartner, ‘Who Is an Entrepreneur? Is <strong>the</strong> Wrong Question’ that was<br />

published in bo th AM J SMALL BUSINESS, V12 and ENTREP THEORY<br />

PRACT, V13. The combined gravitas <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se two articles raised its total to 77 and<br />

bought it into <strong>the</strong> Top 21 as shown in Graphic 3f.<br />

3.2.5 Hermeneutics – developing <strong>the</strong> <strong>aliran</strong><br />

3.2.5.01 The above completed <strong>the</strong> data collection process in orde r to try and show<br />

<strong>the</strong> episteme ‘as it is’. The next step was to apply <strong>the</strong> hermeneutic approach for a more<br />

qualitative analysis process <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> above. The 476 high gravitas articles could be sorted<br />

ei<strong>the</strong>r as to year <strong>of</strong> publication to give a time line or sorted as to weighting from those<br />

articles / texts having <strong>the</strong> most gravitas to those with <strong>the</strong> least gravitas. Effectively this<br />

sorting provided a two dimensional perspective, with <strong>the</strong> article and its weighting, over<br />

time. Appe ndix One shows <strong>the</strong> 476 high gravitas articles sorted chronologically.<br />

3.2.5.02 Foucault [2002] has described <strong>the</strong> episteme as be ing three dimens ional and<br />

it is logical that such three dimensionality also apply to <strong>the</strong> <strong>aliran</strong> as an extension <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

episteme. The first dimension is <strong>the</strong> article and its gravitas, <strong>the</strong> second dimension be ing<br />

time, <strong>the</strong> third dimension is some form <strong>of</strong> spatial relationship between <strong>the</strong> articles, for<br />

which I am using sub-<strong>aliran</strong> or <strong>the</strong> ontology.<br />

3.2.5.03 As discussed in Part Two, <strong>the</strong> ontology should be apparent from <strong>the</strong><br />

archaeological process used and I was hoping that an ontology would readily present itself<br />
