Knowledge organization

• B. Sosińska-Kalata: Research and practice area related to

tools preparation, which aim is to provide quick and

efficient access to knowledge resources;

• KOS: structures, tools and methods used to knowledge

organization in various types of environments and for a

variety of specific objectives.

KOS by B. Hjørland

• Two approaches to KOS:

• Narrow interpretation, typical for information science

(document description, indexing and classification);

• Broader interpretation, meaning social division of

mental labour, where KOS are associated with

production and distribution of „knowledge”, organization

of publications, traditions, disciplines and people in

different cultures.

11 Warszawa, 15-16.04.2013

KOS in a broad sense

• Any structure that serves to confer some knowledge resources of the organizational structure, that facilitates users to access the knowledge (B. Sosińska-Kalata).

• Tools:

• Libraries, traditional and digital*

• Museums and e-museums

• Archives and e-archives

• Encyclopaedia and e-encyclopaedia

• Repositories of digital documents

• Knowledge portals

and also

• Division of scientific areas and disciplines used to organize scientific activities

• Division of areas of practice activities used to work and labour organization.

Conclusions

• PKO model (Publishing as KO) allows simultaneous

presentation of knowledge and publishing processes;

• It uses results of previous works in both directions;

• A comprehensive view on the processes allows the

terminology rearrangement;

• The model can be used to investigate and explain the

phenomena associated with scientific publishing (and

more broadly – with communicating), including its

transformation into an electronic form.
