This work addresses the transformations undergone in the concept of State, from the post--French Revolution period, in which the Nation-State emerged and then consolidated, inspired by liberal ideology, to the present day in which, due to the technological revolution, which began in the middle of the 20th century and accelerated with the appearance of the Internet and the changes caused by the so-called “digital transition”, the State also suffers the effects of this revolution, to the point that we can consider appropriate the concept of “digital State”.In this context, it is interesting to understand the role that Information Science has been playing over the last two centuries and how it should be structured epistemologically (clarifying as best as possible the areasand subareas of its object of study) to face the complex challenges that it must face in the Digital Era in which we live.
