Abstract

In view of the great recent evidence achieved by methods, tools and practices of data science, the article verifies the possibility that there are new foundations in a supposed science called Data Science, and how this Science would impact or be impacted by Information Science. The methodology is exploratory, and uses bibliographic research based on analysis of networks of co-occurrences and bibliographic coupling involving the terms “data science”, “information science” and “library and information science”. The exchanges and contributions of the two fields of practices, evidenced by the analyzes produced, as well as some epistemological implications, point not only to an opportunity for exchanges, but to a need for them to occur as soon as possible.
