Beside
the key concepts there are certain terms that
make considerable language impact. We selected
mixture of terms with different purposes: term
“internet” was chosen to indicate link between
information society and the key dynamical element
of this society – Internet. Terms hardware, infrastructure
and software were chosen to show level of technical
language in five declarations. We also included
three prefixes/adjectives which are usually used
to describe modern ICT-developments: “e”, cyber
and virtual. The analysis of these five documents
show that prefix “e-“ has become dominant after
its introduction in the Bucharest declaration.
“Cyber” and “virtual” are almost non-existing.
It is interesting to notice that term “cyber”
is used in only international treaty dedicated
to the ICT issue – Council of Europe Convention
on Cybercrime. |

As
in the previous analysis of key concepts frequency distributions,
we see that the profile of the African declaration is somewhat
different than the other declarations' profiles. These difference
will be noted following the multivariate analysis. Again,
two correlation matrices were calculated, the declarations
matrix and the keywords matrix: |

Results
Hereby
we present a 3D conceptual space obtained from the multidimensional
scaling of the properly (1-r) transformed declarations correlation
matrix (Matrix 3). |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Now
we present a joining-tree diagram obtained from cluster analysis
of the properly (1-r) transformed declarations correlation
matrix (Matrix 3). |

Interpretation:
the results of the multivariate analyses of the keywords
declarations matrix are consisent with the prior analysis
performed on key concepts. The African declaration is isolated
from others since it is characterized with the very low
frequency of the "e-" prefix when compared to
other declarations.
The
same analyses were performed on the properly transformed
correlations from the words matrix (Matrix 4). We present
the 3D conceptual map produced by the multidimensional scaling
procedure, and a joining-tree diagram obtained from cluster
analysis.

Interpretation:
Two major groupings of key words occure following the multivariate
analysis of the keywords matrix: (a) a group containing the keywords
Cyber, Hardware and Software, and (b) a group containg other keywords.
The keywords Internet and Virtual are highly connected since the
only document containing the keyword Virtual is at the same time
the one with the most frequent usage of the keyword Internet (W.
Asian declaration). |
