Social informatics: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

Social informatics is the study of information and communication tools in the context of culturology, or in the context of a specific institution. Some proponents of social informatics use the relationship of a biological community to its environment as an analogy for the relationship of tools to people who use them.
