“…A suposição de Kleineberg (2013) de que o conhecimento humano é sempre conhecimento em contexto e uma organização sistemática de contextos epistêmicos é obrigatória para a teoria da OC, em particular, para qualquer abordagem baseada em fenômenos, também revela seu pensamento pragmático. Da mesma forma que Kleineberg (2013), Ridi (2016) defende a postura do realismo construtivo, buscando uma teoria de síntese entre objetivismo e subjetivismo. A teoria consiste em reconhecer que a realidade não é completamente dada nem completamente construída e constitui o paradigma dominante tanto na epistemologia quanto nos estudos da OC.…”

Objetivo: Estudo sobre posições epistêmicas que influenciam o domínio da organização do conhecimento a partir da análise da literatura científica. Objetiva descrever a concepção de epistemologia no periódico Knowledge Organization por meio da metateoria. Método: Pesquisa exploratória e descritiva que desenvolve um estudo metateórico baseado na metateoria de Ritzer. Duas ferramentas da teoria fundamentada em dados foram utilizadas, codificação e memorando. Resultado: Três famílias de atributos foram identificadas a partir do processo de codificação e do memorando: o conceito de epistemologia na organização do conhecimento, seu propósito e as posições epistêmicas que influenciam o domínio. A terceira família de atributos é analisada neste artigo. Empirismo, racionalismo, historicismo e pragmatismo são descritos como as principais posições epistêmicas que influenciam o domínio. O pragmatismo predomina na análise, seguido das teorias críticas e do historicismo. Conclusões: O estudo conclui que a concepção da epistemologia no domínio da organização do conhecimento é o estudo crítico dos princípios, hipóteses e produção de conhecimento no domínio. A epistemologia se preocupa com o conhecimento científico produzido pelo domínio da organização do conhecimento, bem como com a aplicação do conhecimento para a criação dos sistemas de organização do conhecimento para apoiar o processo de organização do conhecimento como um todo.

“…Several authors, e.g. : Ridi (2016); Kleineberg (2017); Dahlberg (2017); Hjørland (2010), claim the lack of grounds for such positions, emphasizing that, in procedural terms, knowledge is both ontological and epistemological. As an area of study, ontology focuses on how reality is constituted and structured using concepts.…”

The ontological approach in the development of KOS is an attempt to overcome the limitations of the traditional epistemological approach. Questions raise about the representation and organization of ontologically-oriented KO units, such as BFO universals or ILC phenomena. The study aims to compare the ontological approaches of BFO and ILC using a hermeneutic approach. We found that the differences between the units of the two systems are primarily due to the formal level of abstraction of BFO and the different organizations, namely the grouping of phenomena into ILC classes that represent complex compounds of entities in the BFO approach. In both systems the use of concepts is considered instrumental, although in the ILC they constitute the intersubjective component of the phenomena whereas in BFO they serve to access the entities of reality but are not part of them.1 During the 8th conference of the ISKO Spanish chapter (2017), as part of the proposals labeled as "the León manifesto." http://www.iskoi.org/ilc/leon.php (access on 8.1.2020).

“…This is an inescapable character of human knowledge, which cannot encompass the whole of reality in a single act of perception, but needs to decompose reality into elements and relationships between them. In this sense, it is often said that "to think is to classify" (Perec 1986;Ridi 2006), as reality is spontaneously analyzed into classes of phenomena by our cognitive apparatus. Ranganathan himself (1967, 77) wrote that classification is perhaps "concomitant with the finiteness of the speed of neural impulses in the human body.…”

“…When presenting this list of dimensions at the 7th Italian ISKO Meeting held in Bologna, suggestions were given by Ridi (2016) about "the possibility of adding even a seventh 'dimension,' relating to the objectives, preferences, habits and constraints of individual users and to the characteristics of different and changing information needs and behaviours of each of them, studied by psychology and information science. "…”

Classifying Phenomena Part 1: Dimensions

This is the first part of a study on the classification of phenomena. It starts by addressing the status of classification schemes among knowledge organization systems (KOSs), as some features of them have been overlooked in recent reviews of KOS types. It then considers the different dimensions implied in a KOS, which include: the observed phenomena, the cultural and disciplinary perspective under which they are treated, the features of documents carrying such treatment, the collections of such documents as managed in libraries, archives or museums, the information needs prompting to search and use these collections and the people experiencing such different information needs. Until now, most library classification schemes have given priority to the perspective dimension as they first list disciplines. However, an increasing number of voices are now considering the possibility of classification schemes giving priority to phenomena as advocated in the León Manifesto. Although these schemes first list phenomena as their main classes, they can as well express perspective or the other relevant dimensions that occur in a classified item. The independence of a phenomenon-based classification from the institutional divisions into disciplines contributes to giving knowledge organization a more proactive and influential role.
