“…A thesaurus is a system (or model) for knowledge organization and representation that evolves progressively in terms of structure and function of specialized vocabularies, and where synonyms, polysemies or associative and hierarchical relationships between terms are established according to a pattern internationally recognized [9].…”

Abstract. R&DI institutions have adopted solutions based on Portfolio Management Project (PMP) to select the best projects in terms of both cost and strategic results. The candidate projects must meet sustainability requirements, since investments in sustainability have emerged as the most important global issue for business, industry, government, and academia. The objective of this research was to develop a conceptual model for analyzing a portfolio of sustainability projects. Such a portfolio provides descriptors widely recognized to support technology transfer, notably in the agricultural domain. This conceptual model was developed from a case study of Embrapa (Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation). Although the proposed model has become a simple tool, the results revealed it is interesting for reclassification of the Embrapa's projects, pointing to solutions on sustainability with a potential for technology transfer.

“…From a general perspective, our work can be viewed as building upon seminal research work in IR that explored the use of controlled vocabularies [30], originally introduced for library systems. The proposed method can thus be seen as instance of an advanced Knowledge Organization System (KOS) [48,13], since it relies at its core on a wide-coverage ontology to represent documents. However, as opposed to these approaches, we do not create a controlled vocabulary for a specific document collection, but instead reuse an existing, background ontology which contains general world knowledge.…”

We propose a graph-based semantic model for representing document content. Our method relies on the use of a semantic network, namely the DBpedia knowledge base, for acquiring fine-grained information about entities and their semantic relations, thus resulting in a knowledge-rich document model. We demonstrate the benefits of these semantic representations in two tasks: entity ranking and computing document semantic similarity. To this end, we couple DBpedia's structure with an information-theoretic measure of concept association, based on its explicit semantic relations, and compute semantic similarity using a Graph Edit Distance based measure, which finds the optimal matching between the documents' entities using the Hungarian method. Experimental results show that our general model outperforms baselines built on top of traditional methods, and achieves a performance close to that of highly specialized methods that have been tuned to these specific tasks.

“…Kleineberg considers incomplete both these approaches and proposes to integrate them, using KOS (knowledge organization systems, that is to say structured and controlled lists of terms used to organized, manage and search for information, documents and knowledge in a particular field or for a particular purpose, described for example by Zeng 2008 andGnoli 2015) which take into account both the "what" and the "who" of knowledge, and, in addition, also the "how", that is to say the methods used in cognitive investigations, trying, in this way, to satisfy at the same time, both the ontological approach and the epistemological and the methodological ones. Kleineberg's attempt at synthesis is certainly commendable and goes in the same direction in which this article is moving, that is to say the ascertainment of the difficulty in separating clearly the objective and the subjective aspects of knowledge organization, not to mention the possible claim to eliminate completely one of the two, so much so that not even all the authors selected as representative of the modernist or postmodernist approaches always maintain consistently that position, as Kleineberg (2013, 341) himself admits.…”

This article examines the main objective and subjective aspects traceable in the concepts of information, document, knowledge, knowledge organization and level of reality. The hypothesis of the author is that objective and subjective aspects are both present in each of these entities, as it is sometimes implicitly recognized even by some of the authors that usually underline exclusively the objective or the subjective elements of these entities. "Moderate constructivism" is the synthesis of objectivism and subjectivism that consists in recognizing that reality is neither completely "given" nor completely "built" and it constitutes (beyond too marked pseudo-oppositions) the paradigm today de facto dominant both in epistemology studies and in knowledge organization studies.
