Integrating America's infostructure

Paul G. Zurkowski

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1984, vol. 35, issue 3, 170-178

Abstract: The INFOSTRUCTURE is defined by using a map of the information industry to show the interrelationships of eight industry segments: content services, content packages, facilitation services, information technologies, integrating technologies, communications technologies, communications channels, and broadcast channels. The key force for integration is the information content that holds the industry together and gives it a ralson d'etre. The criteria for identifying information businesses are identified and each segment of the map is reviewed in relation to these parameters. A new, vertically integrated INFOSTRUCTURE is revealed, based on information and communication technology and designed to deliver information content.
