The literature within library and information science (LIS)
on relevance comes primarily from the subfields of information retrieval
and information systems design. This literature has developed over time
from an orthodoxy that has focused on relevance as an objective measure
to a comprehension of the dynamic nature of relevance judgment. Other
literatures, such as those of the philosophy of language and semantics, also
have offered cogent thought that could and should be incorporated into
LIS. This thought has broadened discussion to the context in which relevance
is assessed, the speech acts that are evaluated, and the dialogic element
of human communication.
