李国秋,张通   

The Defintion of the Information Professionals from the International Occupations Classification

摘要:

文章运用内容分析与文本挖掘的方法,对国际劳工组织及各大洲几个有代表性国家的职业分类进行了挖掘和分析,对情报职业在国际组织及各国职业分类中的定位和属性进行了归纳与总结。统计结果表明:①各国职业分类中提取的情报职业要素与本文定义的情报职业的要素吻合,即以情报为主要活动对象,以为组织或用户提供情报服务为目标,工作任务涵盖了情报收集、情报整理、情报组织、情报维护、情报传递等情报过程中的若干个模块;②情报职业工作内容的侧重点会有所不同,但它们都是围绕情报过程展开的,并不影响其同一性;③从情报职业在职业分类中的分布来看,情报职业并不是限于某种特殊机构,而是广泛存在于社会的各个领域,这是因为情报官在不同组织中的活动对象、工作职责以及工作目标具有同一性。文章的结论是:情报职业是确实存在的,并且不仅限于特定的机构,而是逐渐渗透到越来越多的领域中。情报职业是一系列具有相同问题域和方法论的职业的集合,这些职业在活动对象、工作职责和任务、工作目标等职业要素上具有同一性,即以情报为主要活动对象,以处理情报过程中的相关事务为主要职责和任务,以为组织或社会(用户)提供情报产品或服务为目标。
