【 摘 要 】

References(26)The concept of information has become a crucial topic in several emerging scientific disciplines, as well as in organizations, in companies and in everyday life.Hence it is legitimate to speak of the so-called information society; but a scientific understanding of the Information Age has not had time to develop.Following this evolution we face the need of a new transdisciplinary understanding of information, encompassing many academic disciplines and new fields of interest.Therefore a Science of Information is required.The goal of this paper is to discuss the aims, the scope, and the tools of a Science of Information.Furthermore we describe the new Science of Information Institute (SOII), which will be established as an international and transdisciplinary organization that takes into consideration a larger perspective of information.
