"The author discusses some of the main concepts used by the scholars working in the field, among them 'order of knowledge', 'situated knowledge' and 'knowledge society'. This book tells the story of the transformation of relatively raw 'information' into knowledge via processes such as classification and verification, the dissemination of this knowledge and finally its employment for different purposes, by governments, corporations or private individuals." --Publisher's description.
