‭5.‬‭COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION NETWORK‬ I‭n an administrative information management system, participants of that‬ ‭system only form a coherent whole if they communicate with each other in‬ ‭some form, which involves data transfer. When designing an administrative‬ ‭information system, attention must be paid to the way in which data and‬ ‭information are moved, in short to the communication within the system and‬ ‭between the system and both the internal organization and the environment.‬ ‭Working in a division of labor results in internal and external communication. A‬ ‭distinction is made between the message giver, the communication channel, the‬ ‭recipient of the message and the response of the recipient. This creates the diagram‬ ‭of the communication process. With regard to the message content, three language‬ ‭levels are distinguished. The concept of redundancy, insofar as it has been‬ ‭consciously introduced, has a special meaning.‬ ‭The use of communication channels then depends on the nature of the‬ ‭message, the technical possibilities of the channel used and the costs.‬ ‭The totality of all communication channels with associated equipment,‬ ‭software and procedures forms the communication network of a household:‬ ‭this is a technical concept. If, with regard to this network, one wants to‬ ‭emphasize the information provided by this data, one speaks of an information‬ ‭network.‬ ‭ chemas are a powerful tool for transferring information, among other things.‬ S ‭Depending on the purpose of mapping administrative information processes, a‬ ‭combination of effective schema techniques is chosen.‬ ‭Communication‬ ‭A communication process can be represented schematically as follows:‬ ‭ he quality of the language used, of encoding the message to be transported, of‬ T ‭transporting signals and of decoding these signals must be such that the purpose of the‬ ‭communication (the receiver understands what the sender intended to communicate) is‬ ‭achieved. To this end, three language levels are distinguished, namely:‬ ‭-‬ ‭The syntactic level (grammatically correct);‬ ‭-‬ ‭The semantic level (meaning of the symbols (using unambiguous words)); The‬ ‭-‬ ‭pragmatic level (how do people view the message from their background).‬ ‭Communication network‬ ‭ he totality of all communication channels with associated equipment, software and‬ T ‭procedures, insofar as the power of disposal belongs to a household, constitutes‬ ‭the‬‭communications network of‬‭that household. Thus‬‭defined, it is a technical‬ ‭c oncept. This is in contrast to the concept of 'information network' to be discussed‬ ‭in the next paragraph.‬ ‭ ith regard to written communication, one can distinguish two patterns. Namely‬ W ‭written communication that is connected either in series or in parallel.‬ ‭ ee‬‭series connection becomes‬‭the same piece consecutively passed on to all‬ B ‭officials who are‬ ‭(in)directly involved in the performance of the task at hand.‬ ‭Bee Parallel‬‭connection every‬‭official who has an‬‭interest in this will receive,‬ ‭whether or not at the same time, a complete or partial copy of a form that contains‬ ‭all the information required by the various officials about the case in question.‬
