From Bjorland’s redefinition of relevance in the February 2010 issue of JASIST:

“Foskett’s view of relevance is close to the one suggested in the present article. Before I did so, he considered the literature of science studies and found here the basis for understanding “relevance”: That relevance is not primarily a psychological concept, but a concept in the theory of knowledge (epistemology), a paradigm, something generally accepted in a community.”

An intelligence community, perhaps?
