Organización del conocimiento : bibliotecología, terminología e información

Abstract

This work is a result of the PAPIIT Project: Terminology information system on librarianship, archival science and information. The progress of the project was presented at the international meetings held by the International Society for Knowledge Organization. This gave rise to initiatives to create a Spanish-language book on the topics of the system in its confluence with the organization of knowledge and terminology, which would inspire students from Spanish-speaking countries to develop research on issues that concern the specialty and in which it is necessary to delve deeper. The organization of knowledge transforms a chaotic scenario of information of all kinds, from data as a result of diverse research, to words isolated from discourse, to represent a documentary content and achieve a navigable, user-friendly environment where information is easily accessible. As a result, the process of organizing knowledge is based on structuring, categorizing and systematizing the information and data generated in the activities and studies to facilitate their access, understanding and use. Among the practices carried out to arrive at knowledge contents are indexing, classification, cataloging and the creation of information systems and repositories where the contents are presented. The preparation of documentary records about the repositories, databases and curricula that are built on the discipline that brings us together requires clarity and knowledge of terminology. Science does not exist in isolation or outside of society, but seeks to reflect the transformations, becoming both object and subject of the assimilation of the modifications that occur in everyday life. Social progress and mutations are reflected in the language used and it is necessary to rescue and share it to ensure better communication among information professionals
