Abstract

We conducted a study of the knowledge organization systems for the perspectives of international standards for the construction, verifying the extensions and the most significant changes occurred between them from the controlled vocabulary addressed. The aim is to present the concepts, functions and characteristics of each, and delimiting, at the same time, generalizing their applications in various contexts of use, for the perspectives of international standards for the Information Organization and Retrieval in Information Science. The research base was the international standards ANSI/NISO Z39.19-2005, BS 8723 and ISO 25964, especially the classification schemes, subject headings schemes, taxonomies, thesauri and ontologies, as well as synonyn rings, business classification schemes for records management and semantic networks as controlled vocabularies analyzed. The results of this study showed, mainly, on the continuing need to update international standards, for the technological innovations and informational occurred in Knowledge Organization and Retrieval in Information Science and in the specialized or not users’ context.
