The infosphere of social sciences: Structure, boundaries, and functions

Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of the infosphere and proposes a set of issues that define the structure of this concept and a model for determining the boundaries of the infosphere with respect to the tasks of its management. It considers the expediency of the system organization of the infosphere, including the restoration of the SSSTI. A possible list of functions is presented whose centralization could facilitate the transformation of the infosphere into a system.
