Subject headings, thesaurus, ontologies, taxonomies, folksonomiesAbstract
The objective of this article is to identify the applications that the knowledge organization systems are using in the subject organization of the information resources stored in digital libraries. It was found that the term ‘knowledge organization systems’ refers to a set of tools to promote the knowledge management and organization of resources. It was also discovered that, in the subject organization of resources, the digital library employs systems such as subject headings, taxonomies, topical maps, ontologies, folksonomies and thesauri. Some of these tools are an extension of the physical library to the digital library, while others emerged or have become stronger in association with the Web. It is concluded that, in the subject organiza- tion of information resources, the knowledge organization systems have a funda- mental role, but each one of them has advantages and / or disadvantages that affect the representation, organization and subject retrieval of resources.
