The document discusses different approaches to knowledge organization (KO) within library and information science (LIS). It describes several traditional and modern approaches to KO, including facet analysis, information retrieval traditions, user-oriented/cognitive views, and bibliometric and domain-analytic approaches. For each approach, it discusses how semantic relationships are identified or based, such as on classifications systems, empirical user studies, citations between documents, or theories within knowledge domains.
