Paul Otlet: a pioneer in the organisation of global networks for the processing and dissemination of registered information

Abstract

Estudo of Paul Otlet’s work, with emphasis on the monographic principle, one of his main contributions to the compilation of documentation and information science and predecessor to hypertext. Your work Traité de Documentation: Le Free sur le Free: théorie et Practice, published in 1934, anticipates many of today’s adopted actions on the organisation of international cooperation networks for the processing and exchange of documented information. In that work, Otlet defines the field of documentation and systematisation of theories, methods and techniques for organising the registered knowledge and distributing it. One of his most notable contributions is the monographic principle, idealised at Otlet’s interlocution with some representatives of the bibliographic Movement, which emerged in Europe at the end of the 19th and early 20th century. Revisiting Otlet’s work is key to understanding many theoretical, methodological and epistemological aspects that have built the field of documentation and information science. Keywords: Monographic principle. Paul Otlet. Documentation. Information science. Paul Otlet: a pioneer of the organisation of world nets dealing with dissemination of registered information Abstract This is a study of the works by Paul Otlet which emphasise the Monographic Principle: one of his major contributions for the establishment of Documentation and Information Science, and a predisappointed idea of hypertext. Otlet’s 1934 book Traité de Documentation: Le Free sur le Free: théorie et practique announces many of the current ideas about the organisation of cooperative, international networks for processing and exchanging document information. In this work, Otlet defined the field of Documentation and Establishes theories, methods and techniques to organise and distribute retained knowledge. The Monographic Principle was coming out from Otlet’s exchanges of ideas with some of the figures of the Bibliographic Movement of late 19th century in Europe. A review of Otlet’s work is fundamental for understanding many of the theoretical, methodological and epistemological underpainnings of Documentation and Information Science. Keywords: Monographic principle. Paul Otlet. Documentation. Information Science.
