今天講述Knowledge organization

The term knowledge organization (KO) (or “organization of knowledge”, “organization of information” or “information organization”) designates a field of study related to Library and Information Science (LIS). In this
meaning, KO is about activities such as document description, indexing and classification performed in libraries, databases, archives etc. These activities are done
by librarians, archivists, subject specialists as well as by
computer algorithms. KO as a field of study is concerned
with the nature and quality of such knowledge organizing processes (KOP) (such as taxonomy and ontology) as
well as the knowledge organizing systems (KOS) used to
organize documents, document representations and concepts

Among the other principles, which may be attributed to
the traditional approach to KO are:

•  Principle of controlled vocabulary
•  Cutter’s rule about specificity
•  Hulme’s principle of literary warrant (1911)
•  Principle of organizing from the general to the specific
