A pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar o Capital Científico e o Capital Social dos agentes presentes na produção científica que aborda questões relativas às Linguagens Documentárias, aos sistemas de organização do conhecimento em estudos no campo da Knowledge Organization (KO) e temas correlatos. A hipótese adotada foi a de que as noções de Campo Científico e as noções correlatas de habitus e, sobretudo de \'Capital Social\' e \'Capital Científico\', se apresentaram como uma perspectiva teórico-metodológica produtiva para compreender as redes de relações entre os pesquisadores (autores e coautores), suas citações (autores citados) e de temas pesquisados. Partimos do reconhecimento de que a Ciência da Informação (CI), cuja origem está na Documentação francesa, influenciou as literaturas francófona, hispanófona e lusófona e desenvolveu um legado que teve, entre suas referências, a linguagem, em seus aspectos semânticos, sintáticos e pragmáticos. Identificamos quais as principais tendências dos estudos de KO verificando que subtemas foram privilegiados e que redes científicas surgiram, a partir da análise de um corpus constituído pela produção bibliográfica publicada entre 1997 e 2011 em espanhol, francês e português e repertoriada pelas bases de dados Library Information Science Abstract (LISA), Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts (LISTA), Scopus e Web of Science. O corpus foi selecionado observando-se o título, o resumo e as palavras-chave e organizado a partir do Classification System for Knowledge Organization Literature, da ISKO Para a organização dos dados e a identificação das redes de agentes, recorremos à metodologia de Análise de Redes Sociais (ARS) e à Bibliometria. Os resultados permitiram reunir informações sobre a distribuição dos artigos por idiomas, por periódicos, por coocorrência das palavras-chave, e por grupos temáticos, além da identificação de redes entre autores e grupos temáticos. Para a análise da autoria utilizamos a lei do elitismo, que permitiu identificar uma elite de pesquisa e uma frente de pesquisa correspondente. Os resultados foram analisados sob a perspectiva da análise sociológica de Pierre Bourdieu, cujas contribuições teóricas e conceituais permitiram mapear o Campo Científico correspondente e analisar o comportamento sociológico do campo observado. A hipótese da pesquisa foi validada, confirmando-se que os conceitos sociológicos adotados por Bourdieu constituem uma ferramenta para a otimização da análise dos dados. / In this research we aimed to identify the scientific and social capital of the agents present in the scientific production that addresses issues related to documentary language and knowledge organization systems in studies in the field of Knowledge Organization (KO) and related subjects. The hypothesis adopted was that the notions of the scientific field and the related notions of habitus and especially of \'social capital\' and \'scientific capital\' presented as a productive theoretical and methodological perspective to understand the networks of relationships between researchers (authors and co-authors), their quotations (cited authors) and researched topics. We start with the recognition that Information Science, whose origin is in the French documentation, influenced the Francophone, Lusophone, and Hispanophone literatures and developed a legacy that had, among its references, language in its semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic aspects. We identified the main trends of KO studies facing the issues of language, noting that sub-themes were privileged, and that scientific networks emerged from the analysis of a corpus consisting of bibliographical works published between 1997 and 2011 in Spanish, French, and Portuguese and also those listed in the Library Information Science Abstract (LISA), the Library, the Information Science & Technology Abstracts (LIST), the Scopus, and the Web of Science databases. The corpus was selected by observing the title, the abstract, and the keywords and it was arranged with the Classification System for Knowledge Organization Literature of the ISKO. For the systematization of the data and the identification of the agent networks we used the Social Network Analysis (ARS) methodology and Bibliometrics. The results allowed us to gather information on the distribution of articles by language, journals, co-occurrence of keywords, thematic groups, and the identification of networks among authors, quotation, and thematic groups. For the authorship analysis we used the law of elitism which allowed us to identify a research elite and a group of corresponding search. The results were analyzed from the sociological analysis perspective of Pierre Bourdieu, whose theoretical and conceptual contributions helped to map the corresponding scientific field and to analyze the sociological behavior of the observed field. The research hypothesis was validated confirming the sociological concepts adopted by Bourdieu as a tool for the optimization of data analysis.

Den Begriff 'Dispositiv' hat Foucault nicht viel länger als den des 'Archivs' benutzt. Nach seinem eigenen Bekenntnis sind Begriffe nur 'Werkzeuge' des Analysierens, einer methodologischen Fixierung war er grundsätzlich abhold und privilegierte lieber die Erfindung passender Kategorien im konkreten Zusammenhang historischer Forschungen. Vom Dispositiv spricht er am ausführlichsten im Zusammenhang mit seinem Spätwerk, der 'Geschichte der Sexualität'. Der Begriff ist jenseits dieses Verwendungszusammenhangs allerdings auch anderweitig erfolgreich benutzt worden, und kann auch im hier angesprochenen Zusammenhang eine gewisse Geltung beanspruchen. Als Dispositiv kann eine Bibliothek im Foucaultschen Sinne angesehen werden, wenn institutionelle, administrative und architektonische Gesichtspunkte im Sinne eines Ensembles oder eines Netzwerks rekonstruierbar sind. Dafür liegen in Wolfenbüttel jedenfalls eine Reihe von historischen Zeugnissen vor. Oie Bibliothek als Dispositiv zu verstehen, bedeutet weiterhin, das intellektuelle Unternehmen ihrer Anlage und Disposition, ihrer Vermehrung und ihrer Verfügbarkeit, im Zusammenhang mit administrativen, institutionellen Maßnahmen und allgemein einer Politik ihrer Handhabung zu sehen.

The United Nations as well as the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions highlight the value and the need for appropriate knowledge organization of Indigenous knowledge in memory institutions. This paper seeks to contribute to research in the field of Indigenous librarianship. The purpose of the study is to investigate the need for Indigenous knowledge organization and information retrieval with the help of the following research questions: In what way are Indigenous knowledge systems affected by Western knowledge organization and classification structures? What tools and processes are required in order to implement Indigenous librarianship? Data collection includes semi-structured interviews in addition to literature and audiovisual review. The theoretical framework combines the themes of language revitalization, collaboration and relationality with discussions of indigenization and decolonization. The two cases studied are Indigenous librarianship in Aotearoa-New Zealand and Sweden. The results show that while the Western classification systems have shortcomings related to categorizing of Indigenous knowledge the thesaurus is a tool to work around this problem. The conclusion is that language-revitalization together with national and international collaboration is necessary to assure a deep understanding of Indigenous worldviews and knowledge organization.

Diese Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit einer systematischen Organisation der epistemologischen Dimension des menschlichen Wissens in Bezug auf Perspektiven und Methoden. Insbesondere wird untersucht inwieweit das bekannte Organisationsprinzip der integrativen Ebenen, das eine Hierarchie zunehmender Komplexität und Integration beschreibt, geeignet ist für eine grundlegende Klassifikation von Perspektiven bzw. epistemischen Bezugsrahmen. Die zentrale These dieser Dissertation geht davon aus, dass eine angemessene Analyse solcher epistemischen Kontexte in der Lage sein sollte, unterschiedliche oder gar konfligierende Bezugsrahmen anhand von kontextübergreifenden Standards und Kriterien vergleichen und bewerten zu können. Diese Aufgabe erfordert theoretische und methodologische Grundlagen, welche die Beschränkungen eines radikalen Kontextualismus vermeiden, insbesondere die ihm innewohnende Gefahr einer Fragmentierung des Wissens aufgrund der angeblichen Inkommensurabilität epistemischer Kontexte. Basierend auf Jürgen Habermas‘ Theorie des kommunikativen Handelns und seiner Methodologie des hermeneutischen Rekonstruktionismus, wird argumentiert, dass epistemischer Pluralismus nicht zwangsläufig zu epistemischem Relativismus führen muss und dass eine systematische Organisation der Perspektivenvielfalt von bereits existierenden Modellen zur kognitiven Entwicklung profitieren kann, wie sie etwa in der Psychologie oder den Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften rekonstruiert werden. Der vorgestellte Ansatz versteht sich als ein Beitrag zur multi-perspektivischen Wissensorganisation, der sowohl neue analytische Werkzeuge für kulturvergleichende Betrachtungen von Wissensorganisationssystemen bereitstellt als auch neue Organisationsprinzipien vorstellt für eine Kontexterschließung, die dazu beitragen kann die Ausdrucksstärke bereits vorhandener Dokumentationssprachen zu erhöhen. Zudem enthält der Anhang eine umfangreiche Zusammenstellung von Modellen integrativer Wissensebenen. / This dissertation is concerned with a systematic organization of the epistemological dimension of human knowledge in terms of viewpoints and methods. In particular, it will be explored to what extent the well-known organizing principle of integrative levels that presents a developmental hierarchy of complexity and integration can be applied for a basic classification of viewpoints or epistemic outlooks. The central thesis pursued in this investigation is that an adequate analysis of such epistemic contexts requires tools that allow to compare and evaluate divergent or even conflicting frames of reference according to context-transcending standards and criteria. This task demands a theoretical and methodological foundation that avoids the limitation of radical contextualism and its inherent threat of a fragmentation of knowledge due to the alleged incommensurability of the underlying frames of reference. Based on Jürgen Habermas’s Theory of Communicative Action and his methodology of hermeneutic reconstructionism, it will be argued that epistemic pluralism does not necessarily imply epistemic relativism and that a systematic organization of the multiplicity of perspectives can benefit from already existing models of cognitive development as reconstructed in research fields like psychology, social sciences, and humanities. The proposed cognitive-developmental approach to knowledge organization aims to contribute to a multi-perspective knowledge organization by offering both analytical tools for cross-cultural comparisons of knowledge organization systems (e.g., Seven Epitomes and Dewey Decimal Classification) and organizing principles for context representation that help to improve the expressiveness of existing documentary languages (e.g., Integrative Levels Classification). Additionally, the appendix includes an extensive compilation of conceptions and models of Integrative Levels of Knowing from a broad multidisciplinary field.

Subject of information entity is one of the fundamental concepts in the field of information science. Subject of any document represents its intellectual potential -- 'aboutness' of the document. Traditionally, subject (along with title and author) is the one of three major ways to access information, so subject metadata plays a central role in this process and the role is constantly growing. Previous research concluded that the larger bibliographic database is, the richer subject vocabularies and classification schemes are needed to support information discovery. Further, a high proportion of information objects are unretrievable without subject headings in metadata records. This exploratory study provides the analysis of the subject metadata in MARC 21 bibliographic records created in 2020; and develops understanding of the level and patterns of 'aboutness' representation in the MARC 21 bibliographic records. Study also examines how these records apply the recent RDA and MARC21 guidelines and features intended to support functionality in a Linked Data environment. Methods of Social Network Analysis were applied along with content analysis, to answer research questions of this study. Suggestions for future research, implications for education, and practical recommendations for library metadata creation and management are discussed.

Magistro baigiamojo darbo objektas – informacijos vadyba, žinių vadyba, Lietuvos Vyriausybinės organizacijos. Darbo tikslas – ištirti informacijos vadybą ir žinių vadybą Lietuvos Vyriausybinėse organizacijose. Darbo uždaviniai: atskleisti informacijos vadybos ir žinių vadybos sąvokas; išanalizuoti informacijos vadybos ir žinių vadybos dedamuosius; ištirti informacijos vadybos ir žinių vadybos taikymą Lietuvos Vyriausybinėse organizacijose. Naudojantis mokslinės literatūros analizės, apibendrinimo metodais prieita prie išvados, kad Lietuvos Vyriausybinėse organizacijose informacijos ir žinių vadyba yra taikoma, bet nėra tikslingai valdoma. Išskirti tam tikri padaliniai ir (ar) atskiri asmenys, atsakingi už visų informacijos ir žinių vadybos procesų ar jų dalį funkcionavimą organizacijose. Nepaisant to, kad informacijos ir žinių vadybos potenciali organizacijai suteikiama nauda Lietuvos Vyriausybinėse organizacijose nėra suvokta, tačiau jos jau dabar turi tvirtą pagrindą informacijos ir žinių vadybos vystymuisi ir klestėjimui. Šis mokslinis magistro darbas bus naudingas tiek mokslininkams, tiek praktikams, o taip pat visiems besidomintiems informacijos ir žinių vadybos tematika teoriniu bei praktiniu aspektais. / The object – information management, knowledge management, the Lithuanian governmental organizations. The main goal of this scientific Master Diploma work – to explore the information and knowledge management in the Lithuanian governmental organizations. Objectives – to uncover the definitions of information and knowledge management; to explore the components of the information and knowledge management; to examine the use of the information and knowledge management in the Lithuanian governmental organizations. Using the analysis or scientific literature and the generalization methods the information and knowledge management were examined in the Lithuanian governmental organizations. It was discovered, that the information and knowledge management are already being used in the governmental organizations, though they are not being properly managed. There are separate departments, responsible for the work of the information and knowledge management’s processes or at least part of them. Despite everything, the true value of the information and knowledge management is not yet recognized by the Lithuanian governmental organizations, though even now there is a steady foundation for the development and prosperity of the information and knowledge management. This scientific work could be useful for those interested into the theory and practices of using the information and knowledge management.

Les systèmes d'information biomédicaux actuels reposent sur l'exploitation de données provenant de sources multiples. Les Systèmes d'Organisation de la Connaissance (SOC) permettent d'expliciter la sémantique de ces données, ce qui facilite leur gestion et leur exploitation. Bénéficiant de l'évolution des technologies du Web sémantique, un nombre toujours croissant de SOCs a été élaboré et publié dans des domaines spécifiques tels que la génomique, la biologie, l'anatomie, les pathologies, etc. Leur utilisation combinée, nécessaire pour couvrir tout le domaine biomédical, repose sur la définition de mises en correspondance entre leurs éléments ou mappings. Les mappings connectent les entités des SOCs liées au même domaine via des relations sémantiques. Ils jouent un rôle majeur pour l'interopérabilité entre systèmes, en permettant aux applications d'interpréter les données annotées avec différents SOCs. Cependant, les SOCs évoluent et de nouvelles versions sont régulièrement publiées de façon à correspondre à des vues du domaine les plus à jour possible. La validité des mappings ayant été préalablement établis peut alors être remis en cause. Des méthodes sont nécessaires pour assurer leur cohérence sémantique au fil du temps. La maintenance manuelle des mappings est une possibilité lorsque le nombre de mappings est restreint. En présence de SOCs volumineux et évoluant très rapidement, des méthodes les plus automatiques possibles sont indispensables. Cette thèse de doctorat propose une approche originale pour adapter les mappings basés sur les changements détectés dans l'évolution de SOCs du domaine biomédical. Notre proposition consiste à comprendre précisément les mappings entre SOCs, à exploiter les types de changements intervenant lorsque les SOCs évoluent, puis à proposer des actions de modification des mappings appropriées. Nos contributions sont multiples : (i) nous avons réalisé un travail expérimental approfondi pour comprendre l'évolution des mappings entre SOCs; nous proposons des méthodes automatiques (ii) pour analyser les mappings affectés par l'évolution de SOCs, et (iii) pour reconnaître l'évolution des concepts impliqués dans les mappings via des patrons de changement; enfin (iv) nous proposons des techniques d'adaptation des mappings à base d'heuristiques. Nous proposons un cadre complet pour l'adaptation des mappings, appelé DyKOSMap, et un prototype logiciel. Nous avons évalué les méthodes proposées et le cadre formel avec des jeux de données réelles contenant plusieurs versions de mappings entre SOCs du domaine biomédical. Les résultats des expérimentations ont démontré l'efficacité des principes sous-jacents à l'approche proposée. La maintenance des mappings, en grande partie automatique, est de bonne qualité. / Modern biomedical information systems require exchanging and retrieving data between them, due to the overwhelming available data generated in this domain. Knowledge Organization Systems (KOSs) offer means to make the semantics of data explicit which, in turn, facilitates their exploitation and management. The evolution of semantic technologies has led to the development and publication of an ever increasing number of large KOSs for specific sub-domains like genomics, biology, anatomy, diseases, etc. The size of the biomedical field demands the combined use of several KOSs, but it is only possible through the definition of mappings. Mappings interconnect entities of domain-related KOSs via semantic relations. They play a key role as references to enable advanced interoperability tasks between systems, allowing software applications to interpret data annotated with different KOSs. However, to remain useful and reflect the most up-to-date knowledge of the domain, the KOSs evolve and new versions are periodically released. This potentially impacts established mappings demanding methods to ensure, as automatic as possible, their semantic consistency over time. Manual maintenance of mappings stands for an alternative only if a restricted number of mappings are available. Otherwise supporting methods are required for very large and highly dynamic KOSs. To address such problem, this PhD thesis proposes an original approach to adapt mappings based on KOS changes detected in KOS evolution. The proposal consists in interpreting the established correspondences to identify the relevant KOS entities, on which the definition relies on, and based on the evolution of these entities to propose actions suited to modify mappings. Through this investigation, (i) we conduct in-depth experiments to understand the evolution of KOS mappings; we propose automatic methods (ii) to analyze mappings affected by KOS evolution, and (iii) to recognize the evolution of involved concepts in mappings via change patterns; finally (iv) we design techniques relying on heuristics explored by novel algorithms to adapt mappings. This research achieved a complete framework for mapping adaptation, named DyKOSMap, and an implementation of a software prototype. We thoroughly evaluated the proposed methods and the framework with real-world datasets containing several releases of mappings between biomedical KOSs. The obtained results from experimental validations demonstrated the overall effectiveness of the underlying principles in the proposed approach to adapt mappings. The scientific contributions of this thesis enable to largely automatically maintain mappings with a reasonable quality, which improves the support for mapping maintenance and consequently ensures a better interoperability over time.

La thèse, qui pose la question de la description du roman et envisage une réponse par l’interrogation d’une problématique documentaire (proposition d’un modèle théorique de représentation, base pour la conception et la réalisation d’outils de navigation raisonnée dans la fiction) conduit une réflexion sur la place de la fiction littéraire dans la construction des savoirs et, par extension, d’une culture. La réflexion et l’expérimentation se font dans le contexte scolaire du lycée d’enseignement général (définition du statut du roman dans l’utilisation qui en est faite dans les programmes et objectifs d’enseignement, analyse de la notion de lecture littéraire en lycée) et par l’analyse d’un corpus de textes : étude de La mystérieuse flamme de la Reine Loana / Umberto Eco, 2004, traduction française, Paris, Grasset et Fasquelle, 2005, doublée de l’étude d’un corpus aléatoire sur le thème de la Shoah. L’objet d’étude étant le roman, les liens entre les Sciences de l’Information et de la Communication et la sémiotique sont abordés sous un jour nouveau : construction d’une théorie sémiotique (définition, mise en place d’un langage formel, choix d’un système de représentation) adaptée à l’objet d’étude par l’explicitation des conditions de production de sens, ce qui implique une hybridation des champs (SIC et théories d’analyse littéraire). Sont développés les éléments théoriques pour un modèle de représentation de la fiction. Les définitions du roman, de la fiction littéraire narrative, de l’information, de la fictiologie (nouveau champ de recherche ouvert par l’étude) et de l'information fictiologique critique, complétées par une description du positionnement dans le champ des Sciences de l’Information et de la Communication, posent le cadre de la réflexion. Un chapitre traitant de la littérature et de la notion de mémoire permet de décrire les liens entre roman et représentation de la réalité. Pour cela, sont définies et étudiées les notions de texte, de référence et de contexte. Enfin, est explicité le titre de la thèse par la description de la faculté imaginale et de la fonction de médiation prêtées au roman. Pour clôturer cette partie d’étude, un état de l’art de la classification de la fiction est opéré par l’élaboration d’un panorama des outils proposés et utilisés, renforcé par la définition d’une recherche ouverte d’information et une étude de la notion de sens dans le traitement de la fiction. Les analyses dans le champ pratique comportent un compte-rendu d’enquêtes, menées dans le cadre de l’enseignement secondaire et de la formation des documentalistes de l’Education Nationale, sur les pratiques de lecture. L’analyse des corpus de textes permet d’interroger la problématique de la réalité visible dans le roman. Ces travaux expérimentent une ontologie fictiologique par une analyse du roman comme document et un essai de formalisation sur la littérature des camps. La proposition d’un modèle théorique à expérimenter se concrétise par l’élaboration d’un système d’organisation de connaissances info-littéraires. Une réflexion sur l’environnement technique actuel justifie les choix retenus, les propositions et solutions réfléchies. En présentant une littératie fictiologique, prolongement de la littératie médiatique, la thèse se clôture par la description d’une médiation fictiologique qui s’ancre dans une renégociation des espaces et des typologies documentaires, investiguant les pratiques participatives et collaboratives. / The dissertation, which investigates the description of the novel and considers an answer by interrogating an information problem (offering a theoretical model of representation, a basis for the conception and creation of tools for a carefully thought out navigation within fiction), carries out a reflection about the role of literary fiction in the construction of bodies of knowledge and, by extension, of a culture. These reflection and experimentation take place in the school context of the “lycee d’enseignement general” [mainstream education high school] (definition of the status of the novel in the way that it is used in education programs and objectives, analysis of the notion of literary reading in high school) and through the analysis of a body of texts: study of La Mysterieuse Flamme de la Reine Loana / Umberto Eco, 2004, French translation, Paris, Grasset et Fasquelle, 2005, combined with the study of an unpredictable collection of texts about the theme of the Shoah. Since the object of study is the novel, the links between Information and Communication Sciences and semiotics are approached in a new light: construction of a semiotic theory (definition, setting up of a formal language, choice of a representation system) made suitable to the object of study by clarifying the conditions of meaning production, which implies a hybridization of the fields (Information and Communication Sciences and literary analysis). The theoretical elements for a representation model of fiction are developed. Definitions of the novel, of literary narrative fiction, of information, of fictiology (a new field of research opened up by the study) and of critical fictiological information, complemented by a description of positioning of this research in the field of Information and Communication Sciences, frame the reflection. A chapter tackling literature and the notion of memory allows for a delineation of the links between novel and representation of reality. For this purpose, the notions of text, reference, and context are defined. Finally, the title of the dissertation is explained through the description of the imaginal faculty, and of the mediation function attributed to the novel. To close this part of the study, drafting a panorama of the proposed and employed tools helps operate a state of the art of fiction classification, reinforced by the definition of an open information research and a study of the notion of meaning in the handling of fiction. Analyses in the practical field include a report of investigations on reading practices conducted in the contexts of secondary education and of the training of ‘Education Nationale’ information librarians. Analyzing bodies of texts allows the problem of visible reality in the novel to be interrogated. This research tests out a fictiologic ontology by examining the novel as document and by attempting a formalization of the camps literature. The proposition of a theoretical model to be experimented is concretized by the development of a system of organization of information and literary knowledge. A reflection on the current technical environment justifies the choices considered, the propositions and solutions offered. By presenting a fictiological information literaty, an extension of media information literaty, the dissertation ends with the description of fictiological mediation anchored into a renegotiation of information spaces and typologies, investigating participatory and collaborative practices.

This thesis investigates the oft-overlooked influence of the classifier's input during the assignment of library classifications and draws upon cultural transfer theory to shed light on the underlying principles that guide the process. Classifiers' personal knowledge, experience, and beliefs, have a critical role in determining the 'aboutness' of a work and its subsequent classification. To explore this theory, this research employs a dual-methods approach, using qualitative analysis of past literature contrasted with a data set formed through a real-world reclassification project at The Swedish Institute in Rome (ISVRoma) using the Library of Congress Classification scheme (LCC), with classifications in the catalogue of the American Academy in Rome (AARome) used for comparison. The resultant data provides a basis for examining the classifier's cultural input and the manifestation of cultural transfer theory in library classification. The findings of this thesis reveal the dynamic nature of classification, which is not a mere static or administrative task, but rather an evolving process deeply embedded in the societal and cultural context. Classifiers are found to act as interpreters, translators, and shapers of knowledge, bringing a profoundly human element to knowledge organisation and retrieval. The classifiers' craft, therefore, extends beyond the implementation of a systemic and controlled vocabulary and involves an active contribution of their knowledge and experience. This contributes to the overall flexibility and adaptability of the classification system. The thesis also underscores the necessity of reassessing our understanding of library classification systems, especially in light of AI's increasing role in this field.
