[Fis] Pause to Wait Pedro's New Year Lecture!

[Krassimir Markov]

Dear Colleagues,
This is really interesting discussion but I think we have to postpone it for 
later time.
The New Year Discussion is already announced and let our colleagues present 
it.
Concept "disinformation" is important and I shall discuss it with great 
pleasure.
We have enough time after it to return to current topic.
Please excuse me for doubling my letter "The Bandwagon", it was my mistake.
Happy New Year!
Friendly greetings
Krassimir

Dear Loet,
(Cc: Xueshan, Krassimir)
(FIS is not in Cc because I sent two messages within 2 days).

I do not agree with your conclusion.
There IS a link, your graph proves it because there are edges between
information science and each of the two other fields.
No link would mean no edge at all, i.e. the component "information
science" would be disconnected.
The result of the clustering is just a kind of optimal partitioning of a 
graph.
You may find something similar between chemistry and biology: there
are indeed two fields, but claiming that the two fields have no
connection would be obviously false.

It let you reply in the forum if you like.

Best wishes,

Michel.
