Construção de macroestrutura de categorias de linguagem documentária em economia: proposta de inovação metodológica

Abstract

The documentary languages, as tools of documentary representation, are built in order to make possible the communication between the document contents and the users of an information system. In this sense, a problem to be solved is the need of searching into the information representation in the field of Economy in the LDs, taking into account its specificity. Therefore, this research searches into the macrostructure in the field of Economy. Its general aim is to contribute with the development of the information representation by means of the scientific experimentation applying the “Modelo Metodológico Integrado para Construção de Tesauro”, proposed by Cervantes (2009), in the field of Economy with specific aims: 1) to search into the theoretical aspects of the documentary representation and of the documentary language; 2) to develop a macrostructure in the field of Economy; and 3) to propose a categorization of this field. The methodology consists of applying the “Modelo Metodológico Integrado para Construção de Tesauro”, proposed by Cervantes (2009) that integrates the theoretical frameworks of the Terminology and construction of Thesaurus. To accomplish this applying, the following procedures are developed: 1) It is made a descriptive and bibliographic, theoretical-methodological research of the knowledge Representation and of the Documentary Language, in the context of Information Science. 2) It is developed the steps set up in the model, namely: delimitation of the subdomain; establishment of the thematic terminological research limits and the collection of terminology workcorpus; establishment of the domain tree; and the collection and classification of terms; 3) It is made a documentary macrostructure from the Economy field considering as parameter, the Documentary Language Structures and the specific documents of this field, that are: the Vocabulário da USP, the Tesauro ISOC de Economia, the translation of the Library of Congress Subject Headings used by Biblioteca Nacional, the Boletim de Conjuntura do Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada; the terms of the Economic Area organized by Gracioso (2002); the Classificação Nacional de Atividades Econômicas, 2.0 version; and the Journal of Economic Literature; and 4) From the compilation of the corpus of the bulletins’ economic terms, of their comparison and verifying in the researched documentary languages, they are classified, and then a proposal of their categorization is presented in the subdomain “Indicadores Econômicos”, inserting them in the Vocabulário da USP. It is concluded that this model is a consolidated and feasible tool for constructing Documentary Languages.
