IBLS Article: Of Sheaves And Bales; Informatics At Work For E-Commerce The use of the terms Sheaves and Bales of e-Commerce is intended to evoke the question of Intermediated versus Dis-Intermediated information. The farmer who cuts the wheat by hand and gathers the sheaves for thrashing is the paradigm for intermediated database construction. The mechanized harvesters that cut, thrash and bale the straw is the paradigm for the dis-intermediated amalgamation of information incorporated in the use of spiders and bots.
Layered on top of the concept of database construction is the concept of Informatics. Informatics began in the 1970’s as a way of discussing information technology in a way that is not necessarily concerned with the underlying subject material itself, but with the technology that makes information available to the end user. Informatics is limited to the discussion of information technology that can be used as a knowledge management system in a specific discipline, as in the example of Medical Informatics.
