THE INFOPRAGMATICS PRACTICE
Rafael IbarraMay 31, 2012
Definition• Infopragmatics is an efficient method based on linguistic
perspectives that allows Spanish Native Speakers to get pertinent – not “relevant” information from commercial academic data bases (ProQuest, Ebsco, Elsevier).
It consists of three elements:• A linguistic storm• A linguistic algorithm• An uncertainty theorem
ANTECEDENTES
• En 1990 llegan las bases de datos de información académica a la Biblioteca Central
• Se enfrentaron diversos problemas que se pueden dividir en dos grupos: a) técnicos de hardware y software, y b) técnicos de uso y manejo de la lengua inglesa.
Panorama de nativo-hablantes del español
Efectos actuales por la falta de método

Casos & soluciones
Infopragmatics, a reminder:
It consists of three elements:• A linguistic storm• A linguistic algorithm• An uncertainty theorem
• A linguistic storm. The lingstorm represents an essential bridge between natural language and controlled vocabulary. It allows the users´ lexical availability.
• A billingual dictionary, and an appropriate thesaurus are essential in this phase. They can be digital or printed.
The linguistic algorithm
• This algorithm consists of a series of linguistic operations to solve a variety of problems rised when trying to get pertinent information, as opposed to the relevant one.
Uncertainty theorem
I.- If there is no information is due to...• User lacks lexical abilities• Syntax is wrong • Used terms are not equivalent in meaning• Context is no the appropriate• There is nothing in the used data base
II.- If the information does not fit is due to... • Inappropriate technical language • Incorrect spelling • Key words or descriptors are not such

RESULTS APPLICATIONS
• Infopragmatics will allow the attendants to efficiently target appropriate journals and authors. Furthermore, it can provide specific elements to change, confirm or modify their research; such elements are frequently at hands of academicians, rarely at hands of students.
Set the purpose
Purpose: • To assess metallurgic slag as Fenton-like catalyst
on disinfection water by means of slag- H2O2- solar light
• Key words: Fenton-like, disinfection,
photocatalyst, solar Fenton

Results II
• Si uso los 3 primeros términos: • Fenton and disinfection and photocatalysis no obtengo resultados• (Descuido en la selección de la base de datos
por demora)
Results III
Esta búsqueda fue la más útil para los propósitos de mi trabajo:Si uso sólo 2 términos• Fenton and disinfection: 30 artículos• Fenton and photocatalysis: 21 artículos• Disinfection and photocatalysis: 21 artículosCombinando los términos principales con los términos relacionados• Fenton and cleaning and catalysis: 2• Fenton and water treatment and photochemical reactions: 9
• Oxidation and photocatalysis and photocatalysis: 166
Results IV
• Esta actividad me permitió:1) darme cuenta que al menos en esta base de datos
Fenton no forma parte de un lenguaje controlado; no obstante, cuando realizo la búsqueda en la base de datos sí obtengo resultados Descuido en la selección de la base de datos pordemora
2) Con el uso del thesaurus pude depurar la búsqueda de artículos relacionados con mi tema de estudio
3) Encontré al menos dos artículos de gran interés4) Identifiqué una revista para publicación:
Chemosphere.
Results V
Implications: El lector conocerá una nueva aplicación de las escorias metalúrgicas en el proceso de desinfección de agua
Audience: Environmental scientists, chemical engineers, biologists, toxicologists
Impact factor: 3.253

Resume
• Define and write your research purpose
• Consider infopragamatics steps
• Select an appropriate database– Look and demand for
linguistic tools
He that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.
Write your research purpose and select the key words
• The purpose of this paper is to establish a data search standard by means of using a sequence of controlled words.
