Abstract
Electronic environments for information discovery are considered
in relation to open-ended and dynamic research practices in the
humanities, but a system suitable for these scholars would have many
other applications as well. Considerations of flexible electronic environments
that would support research are based on the holistic
view of information processes and the requirements that information
systems enable connections, as well as the trustworthiness and
authenticity of information. The proposed electronic environment
consists of flexible networks of connections between information
of different granularity. Strong and weak information paths are established
through use, which contributes to the development and
informational value of the system. Organizational support, as well
as new forms of information provision and services, are required to
enable novel approaches to information discovery and research.
