Karamuftuoglu, M.2016-02-082016-02-0820061532-2882http://hdl.handle.net/11693/23682This article explicates the common ground between two currently independent fields of Inquiry, namely information arts and information science, and suggests a frame-work that could unite them as a single field of study. The article defines and clarifies the meaning of information art and presents an axiological framework that could be used to judge the value of works of information art. The axiological framework is applied to examples of works of information art to demonstrate its use. The article argues that both Information arts and Information science could be studied under a common framework; namely, the domain-analytic or sociocognitive approach. It also is argued that the unification of the two fields could help enhance the meaning and scope of both information science and information arts and therefore be beneficial to both fields.EnglishCognitive systemsInformation analysisSocial aspectsInformation artSociocognitiveInformation scienceArticle10.1002/asi.20381
