Objectives: the main objective of this work is to analyze the editing conflicts that occur in the community of Wikipedia editors. To this end, it raises the need to identify different types of studies, as well as the analysis methods used and their theoretical frameworks of reference. Finally, we consider the possibility of establishing a general framework of explanation that can support the study of the information behaviour of the Wikipedia editor community. Methodology: the analysis was conducted using qualitative content analysis of a set of scientific studies published on the subject under study. Results: the results obtained allow us to affirm that there are three main types of studies whose theoretical approaches and analysis methods are heterogeneous. A broad explanatory frame is proposed, based on the notion of psychological property, in which quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques can be combined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A systematic literature review is carried out, detailing the research topics and the methods and techniques used in information science in studies published between 2000 and 2019. The results obtained allow us to affirm that there is no consensus on the core topics of information science, as these evolve and change dynamically in relation to other disciplines, and with the dominant social and cultural contexts. With regard to the research methods and techniques, it can be stated that they have mostly been adopted from social sciences, with the addition of numerical methods, especially in the fields of bibliometric and scientometric research.

The evolution of content management systems has led to the emergence of new technical architectures. Among the newest developments stands out the appearance and consolidation of static web generators, and their integration into web application programming environments thanks to JAMstacks, stacks formed by JavaScript, API and markup languages.

Lightweight markup languages have been consolidated as the lingua franca for the preparation of technical documents. Their foundations and history are revised, as well as the main languages and documentation generators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The identification of information professional profiles is necessary in order to develop studies for the current labor market and to improve professional development for students. A literature review was carried out on selected papers published within the last two decades. Findings indicate that faculty must address the definition and acquisition of skills to prepare students for a dynamic and constantly changing professional environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Reference management software is a well-known tool for scientific research work. Since the 1980s, it has been the subject of reviews and evaluations in library and information science literature. This paper presents a systematic review of published studies that evaluate reference management software with a comparative approach. The objective is to identify the types, models, and evaluation criteria that authors have adopted, in order to determine whether the methods used provide adequate methodological rigor and useful contributions to the field of study.

Drupal is one of the most advanced platforms for content management. For product development, Drupal architecture uses modules that add specific functionality to its core. More than 20 modules are geared to the needs of libraries, archives and museums. This paper reviews the characteristics and development of these modules, including changes over time, number of versions, developers involved, active implementations, and other data.

Computerization has long been the support structure for basic information management services offered by libraries. However, the development of Web 2.0 tools in recent years, at the same time as the semantic web or the emergence of open & linked data, makes it necessary to reconsider both the model and the technical architecture of the new tools as they appear. The model of computerization of libraries prevailing in past decades has been overcome, and it is imperative to define the framework and key elements of a new generation of applications.

Groupware tools have been standard in the coordination of work in organizations. The development of social networks, has popularized the pattern of collaborative work. This paper aims, first, defining a model for analysis and use of groupware functionality. Second, using the proposed model to establish whether groupware tools are evolving by integrating social features into their performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reviews the literature on information architecture during the period 2005-2010, analyzing the monographs published on the subject, in order to identify the current state of knowledge in this field, and areas of interest and development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Personal information management (PIM) raises some problems because the software tools that are used don't adequately respond to user behaviour and activities. The concept and personal information management problems are reviewed, along with the software tools used for this task. A qualitative assessment explores whether an approach based on software tools for conceptual maps can address the problems discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Conditor is a software tool which works with textual documents containing historical information. The purpose of this work two-fold: firstly to show the validity of the developed engine to correctly identify and label the entities of the universe of discourse with a labelled-combined XTM-DITA model. Secondly to explain the improvements achieved in the information retrieval process thanks to the use of an object-riented database (JPOX) as well as its integration into the Lucene-type database search process to not only accomplish more accurate searches, but to also help the future development of a recommender system [21]. We finish with a brief demo in a 3D-graph of the results of the aforementioned search. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Institutional repositories have become an important means of publishing, disseminating, and preserving the digital information of organisations. The majority of them run on open software tools. Institutional repository projects are being carried out following an evaluation of the software's features. Nevertheless, the evaluations to date have been comparative, focussing on the features offered by each tool, rather than on other factors. In order to overcome this limitation, this work analyses the different published models for evaluating institutional repository software, studies the approach adopted in each case, and proposes a model. This model is oriented toward the study and definition of informational–documental processes, the users, the characteristics of the collections, and the context of the project in which it is framed.

This article presents a report relating to the use of the semantics web in library systems. The author comments on the integration of so-called Web 2.0 services in libraries, which provide access to the Internet, information resources, and research materials. The development of linked data services in libraries for research purposes is also considered.

Introduction. Specialised subject gateways have become an essential tool for locating and accessing digital information resources, with the added value of organisation and previous evaluation catering for the needs of the varying communities using these. Within the framework of a research project on the subject, a software tool has been developed that enables subject gateways to be developed and managed. Method. General guidelines for the work were established which set out the main principles for the technical aspects of the application, on one hand, and on aspects of the treatment and management of information, on the other. All this has been integrated into a prototype model for developing software tools. Analysis. The needs analysis established the conditions to be fulfilled by the application. A detailed study of the available options for the treatment of information on metadata proved that the best option was to use the Dublin Core, and that the metadata set should be included, in turn, in RDF tags, or in tags based on XML. Results. The project has resulted in the development of two versions of an application called Potnia (versions 1 and 2), which fulfil the requirements set out in the main principles, and which have been tested by users in real application environments. Conclusion. The tagging layout found to be the best, and the one used by the writers, is based on integrating the Dublin Core metadata set within the Topic Maps paradigm, formatted in XTM.
