Semiotics

Semiotics is the study of sign systems and their use or interpretation.  It seems as much a perspective on language as a series of sign modelling techniques.  Three schools of Semiotics provide widely varying conceptualisations of the relationship between the thing that serves as a sign and the thing that is signified, as well as the relationship of both to communicators. This is one of the key aspects of OBC Topics 1 and 2.  Semiotics is used as the basis for text-mining software that identifies terms in text documents and attempts to infer their meaning.  There is a new IFIP Working Group for “Organizational Semiotics”.
