Boundary objects in information science
这篇综述梳理了信息科学中基于边界对象理论的研究现状，批判性讨论了该概念，并提出了该概念在信息研究中的应用结构概览，适合想了解边界对象理论在信息科学中应用的研究者。
Boundary objects (BOs) are abstract or physical artifacts that exist in the liminal spaces between adjacent communities of people. The theory of BOs was originally introduced by Star and Griesemer in a study on information practices at the Berkeley Museum of Vertebrate Zoology but has since been adapted in a broad range of research contexts in a large number of disciplines including the various branches of information science. The aim of this review article is to present an overview of the state‐of‐the‐art of information science research informed by the theory of BOs, critically discuss the notion, and propose a structured overview of how the notion has been applied in the study of information.
