Digital heritage under discussion in the area of Information Science

ABSTRACT The objective of the article is to compare the Brazilian scientific production on Digital Heritage indexed in the Reference Database of Journal Articles in Information Science (BRAPCI) to what has been produced internationally and is indexed in the Web of Science (WoS). It comes from basic, qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, and bibliographic research. The corpus of analysis consists of 34 articles, 16 from BRAPCI and 18 from WOS, of which the main results are: scarce publication, but constant since 2005; 50% of articles published in Qualis A1 journals; in comparison, Brazil stands out in basic research, questioning the concept of memory in cyberspace. In international production, research focuses on the social reality of digital heritage and its transforming power in the preservation and dissemination of memory; the biggest distinction is in the way of treating digital heritage as an object of research, as 37.5% of research in Brazil is of an applied nature, while international production has an index of 77.8% in this aspect. Thus, it is necessary to reinforce, in the Brazilian informational debate, the dynamic and catalyzing effect of the concept of heritage in the digital interface, promoting new research and disseminating existing projects/initiatives in the applied scope of the area.

摘要 本文旨在对比巴西在数字遗产（Digital Heritage）领域的科研产出——该部分产出收录于《信息科学期刊论文参考数据库（BRAPCI）》——与国际范围内在Web of Science（WoS）索引的同领域科研产出情况。本研究属于基础、质性、探索性、描述性文献研究。分析样本共计34篇文献，其中16篇来自BRAPCI数据库，18篇来自WoS数据库。主要研究结果如下：巴西该领域的科研发文虽总量稀缺，但自2005年起始终保持持续发表；其中50%的论文发表于Qualis A1级期刊。对比而言，巴西科研在基础研究方向表现突出，且对赛博空间中的记忆概念提出了批判性审视。而国际科研产出则聚焦于数字遗产的社会现实属性，及其在记忆保存与传播中的转化赋能作用。二者最显著的差异在于研究对象的处理路径：巴西研究中有37.5%属于应用研究范畴，而国际研究中该比例高达77.8%。据此，巴西信息学界有必要强化数字界面中遗产概念的动态催化效应，推动该领域应用方向的新研究开展，并推广现有相关项目与实践举措。
