Knowledge organization systems, Thesauri, Ontologies, Knowledge organization and representationAbstract
It discusses the concepts of organization and representation of knowledge as fundamentals for the understanding of thesauri and ontologies took as modalities of knowledge organization systems. The analysis of the complementarity relationships between the two instruments is necessary to reaffirm the conception that the technological and, above all, the categorial aspect brings them closer instead of isolating them. In subordinating the concepts of thesauri and ontologies to the broader concept of knowledge organization systems, it reflects on some of its theoretical and applied implications. Such reflections are guided by the way each instrument understands associative conceptual relationships. It is concluded that the technological apparatus used to characterize the concepts and their relationships in the ontologies contributes to the construction of more sophisticated thesauri from when considering the need to make explicit the concepts and the conceptual relationships that the instruments aim to establish. In another direction and in a complementary way, the categorial and faceted analysis model used in the construction of thesauri also contributes to the construction of semantically and structurally denser ontologies.
