ICTs and Society: The Salzburg Approach mies, wikis) into the construction of so called “light weighted”, community based Semantic Web solutions, thus immediately integrating the social aspect of community with the technical level of the Web to a new kind of intelligent symbiosis as the basic Web layer (van Damme, Hepp and Siorpaes 2007; Specia and Motta 2007; Siorpaes and Hepp 2007).

5 CONCLUSION ICTs and Society: The Salzburg Approach We tried to argue that the newly established field of ICT-and-society research must inhere transdisciplinary features, if it is to be critical of current socio-economic developments and aims for the establishment of a GSIS (global sustainable Information Society); if it is to tackle the complex problems of society and technology; if it is to use social-scientific and technological, empirical and theoretical methods in a proper way. We discussed the prospect of ICT-and-society research to become a transdiscipline and forerunners. We explained the concept of a transdiscipline. ICT&S Research as transdiscipline requires a unity of knowledge through a diversity of disciplines. Traditional approaches to the field are shown as any industry-funded (resp. – funding) social-scientific rationalisation (aims) of any ICT application (scope) by any method whatsoever (tools). In contrast, integrative ICT assessment and design approaches develop a normative view of technology and society (aims), interprete their object of study as starting point for improving technology and society according to their normative criteria (scope), and use every method promising to shed light on causes and conditions that further or hinder the meeting of the normative criteria (tools). It is only the latter approaches that can be considered “critical”. Hofkirchner | Fuchs | Raffl | Schafranek | Sandoval | Bichler 49
