الصفحة 26 - ... indicated. Could the new secretary exert control of research and development across department lines without interfering with the legitimate authority of the other secretaries? A pattern for the supra-departmental control which would be required has already been set within the Department of Defense where the Office of the Director of Defense, Research and Engineering has been organized to control the research and development of the three military services. The director has the power of the budget...
الصفحة 20 - The first two steps in the chain — generation, and recording and exposition — are performed by the technical man and the organizations that support him, the later steps by the professional documentalists and the organizations that handle information, as well as by the users. The information chain operates like a switching system. The ultimate aim is to connect the user, quickly and efficiently, to the proper information and to only the proper information. But perfectly precise switching is neither...
الصفحة 9 - To comprehend the world ocean, its boundaries, its properties, and its processes, and to exploit this comprehension in the public interest, in enhancement ot our security, our culture, our international posture, and our economic growth.
الصفحة 19 - He cannot afford the luxury of accommodating the size of his field of interest to what his information system can handle. His job is to design a rocket or a communication system or a reactor, and his customer will not be satisfied with inadequate design because some knowledge was out of his field. He must be receptive to cues from all fields of science and technology. He ignores related art at great peril, especially when the hardware that he creates is expensive. The problem of information access...
الصفحة 21 - ... separation between what is done by the documentalist and what is done by the author: that the earlier and later steps in the chain are not as separate as tradition holds them to be, and that improvement in the former, especially with a view toward subsequent retrieval, would undoubtedly ease the latter. B. The Information Process as Part of the Research Process Carrying further the thread of argument of the previous paragraph, we come to perhaps the most essential attribute of the information...
الصفحة 18 - DESCRIPTION OF THE INTER-NATION SIMULATION Contrived face-to-face groups, even when they are created in the experimenter's laboratory, are more replications of reality than they are simulations. The component units — that is, the persons participating in the experiment — necessarily respond to their social environment as human beings even though the environment may be artificially simplified. In the war game, however, there is more role-playing, in which the actors need to imagine many features...
الصفحة 23 - In line with the philosophy of strengthening of the internal competence of the government, there should be considered the method of operation of many of our major scientific agencies such as the Atomic Energy Commission, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Science Foundation, the Defense Department and certain commissions and boards. These groups have in the past supported various policies of contract-operated institutes and programs, some...
الصفحة 19 - ... report recognizes the extreme variety of user needs. It says "the basic scientist, the technologist, and the administrator see the dimensions and nature of the scientific communications problem differently. Most basic scientists confine their interest to one or a few rather narrow specialties ; * * * The technologist is at the other extreme from the basic scientist. He must be receptive to cues from all fields of science and technology * * * The information needs of the technical administrator...
الصفحة 21 - Research Process Carrying further the thread of argument of the previous paragraph, we come to perhaps the most essential attribute of the information process: the information process is an integral part of research and development. Research and development cannot be envisaged without communication of the results of research and development; moreover, such communication involves in an intimate way all segments of the technical community, not only the documentalists. The attitudes and practices toward...
الصفحة 25 - ... panel was organized at the request of the ICO. The committee formed a ships panel to consider problems in the design and operation of research ships. The air-sea interaction panel completed its work and was disbanded. The Committee on Oceanography continued to maintain liaison with the Scientific Committee on Oceanographic Research (SCOR) of the International Council of Scientific Unions. They approved the transferral of responsibility for coordination of the International Indian Ocean Expedition...
