“…Thematic subspace is a part of the general space, limited by the framework of a specific subject area. Despite the fact that there are some examples of formalization of knowledge in different subject areas [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], there is no generalized approach to defining the digital space of scientific knowledge. An analysis of examples of the formalization of the knowledge space [16,17] in various areas indicates that the main components of the CDSSK in general and each of its thematic subspaces in particular are ontology and content.…”

The space of scientific knowledge is understood as a system of knowledge from various fields of science tested by the scientific community. The Common Digital Space of Scientific Knowledge (CDSSK) is a digital environment into which information resources and objects that have been tested by the scientific community and that reflect scientific knowledge from a different fields of science are integrated. The common digital space of scientific knowledge consists of a set of thematic subspaces related to various areas of science, built according to common principles. The first step towards the implementation of the CDSSK is the development of its ontology, i.e. a multi-level system of concepts describing resources and objects of subject areas, concepts, terms and connections between them, characterized by an open hierarchical and dynamic structuring, oriented both for storing existing knowledge and for extracting new ones. Since the CDSSK is a fundamentally new information environment, there are a number of significant problems on the way to its implementation. The paper deals with the problems and tasks of forming such a space and developing tools for implementation and support the CDSSK

Despite the development of technical means, the processes associated with the search for complete and accurate scientific information in a huge number of data sources are becoming more complicated. To reach a new level in the use of information processing technologies, first of all, a transition to a semantically meaningful representation is necessary for scientific knowledge extracted from information in a digital environment. In modern conditions, characterized by multidisciplinary research, the desired effect can be achieved by developing universal approaches to the storage and presentation of scientific knowledge. These approaches are reflected in the concept of the Common Digital Space of Scientific Knowledge. The paper presents an overview of the basic concepts in this area, which are used both to represent the elements of space and to provide access to them not only for humans, but also for software agents. Semantic libraries are considered as tools for constructing the knowledge space.

“…Theoretical foundations of information and knowledge organization with their historical, sociological, and organization backgrounds have been recently presented by H. Peter Ohly [19,20], Birger Hjørland [12], Richard P. Smiraglia [22,23], Manfred Hauer [11], Marjorie M.K. Hlava [16], and Ingetraut Dahlberg [7]. Ingetraut Dahlberg defi nes "Knowledge Organization" as "[...] the science of structuring and systematically arranging of knowledge units (concepts) according to their inherent knowledge elements (characteristics) and the application of concepts and classes of concepts ordered by this way for the assignment of the worthwhile contents of referents (objects/subjects) of all kinds" [6].…”

Abstract:Information and knowledge organization by keywords is presently eff ected in information and retrieval systems -not only in various taxonomic structures, but also in new structures of a folksonomic and ontological nature as well as mind maps. The need for a fresh look at keyword results from the new possibilities of document and information indexing, especially of social (collaborative) indexing, among others. This will require new research and scholarly refl ection on information processing by both computer systems and the human mind. And this will, in turn, create the need to look at both information and knowledge organization and keywords in terms of the network organization of information and knowledge. This topic is current, owing to the application of keywords in the WWW system, subject indexes, OPACs, full-text systems, and digital libraries. The considerations are concluded by an att empt to answer the question contained in the title relating to the roles of keywords in information and knowledge organization for current information systems. This study has shown that, by using keywords, we essentially deal with a natural language in a meta-information function, not only with an artifi cial keyword language; "-nomic" systems based on hierarchy are usually strongly structured, while the systems that use keywords are hardly structured. Information and knowledge organization by keywords is frequently based on the indexing practice, which means that it is carried out bott om up (with classifi cation being a reverse process).
