Accordingly, this research question is motivated by the assumption that any
attempt to organize knowledge in information systems for the purpose of
retrieval and documentation must try to respond to the activity of documents.
That activity mediates the very social organization documents come out of. In
the next section I am going to explicate this second research question further
as it forms point of departure for the empirical analysis. After this, I will take a
closer look at the concept of cognitive authority and how it is understood in
the present dissertation and how it relates to the problem raised here.
