Knowledge organization system
Knowledge organization (KO) refers to activities like document description, indexing and classification performed in libraries and databases to organize documents and concepts. Knowledge organization systems (KOS) include classification schemes, subject headings, thesauri and other systems used to organize information. KOS impose structures on collections and can be used in digital libraries to provide overviews and support retrieval, though different KOS may characterize entities differently. Common types of KOS include term lists, classifications and categories, and relationship lists.

Presented by Tony Ross at the CILIPS Centenary Conference Branch and Group Day which took place 5 Jun 2008.Synaptica_KM_Award_Paper
Dave Clarke presented on knowledge organization and discovery. He discussed how knowledge management requires systematically organizing knowledge through standards and software. Effective organization allows for knowledge discovery, though full-text search has limitations without understanding context. Knowledge organization systems address this through formal subject indexing schemes linked to controlled vocabularies and external data sources. Several examples showed how semantic annotation and linking to external ontologies enhances discovery of conceptually related information that could not be found through search alone.
Classification Systems
A quick and opinionated presentation on four major classification systems: Folksonomies, Thesauri, Taxonomies and Ontologies.
Bsim0004 Assignment1 Copy Part1
This document provides an introduction and background on a research project related to knowledge management and content management. It begins by discussing the increasing amounts of information individuals and organizations face and how knowledge management aims to effectively share knowledge. It then narrows the scope of the research to focus on three specific elements: communities of practice, content management, and knowledge management technology. The document describes several databases that will be used to search for relevant literature, including ISI Web of Knowledge, ProQuest, Emerald, and EBSCOhost. It provides an overview of how the annotated bibliography will be organized based on the three focus areas.
Ontology
study or concern about what kinds of things exist
what entities there are in the universe.
the ontology derives from the Greek onto (being) and logia (written or spoken). It is a branch of metaphysics , the study of first principles or the root of things.
Classification, Cataloguing And Marc Crash Course
This document provides an overview of systems for classifying, cataloging, and describing information resources including:
- Classification systems like Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) and Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) that organize knowledge into hierarchical categories.
- Cataloging rules like Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2) and Resource Description and Access (RDA) that determine how bibliographic information is recorded and accessed.
- Thesauri and ontologies that organize terms and define relationships to facilitate information retrieval.
- Machine-readable cataloging (MARC) standards that allow catalog records to be shared and searched electronically.
Sources of scientific information
Scientific databases and repositories play an important role in the scientific community by organizing and providing access to scientific information. There are several types of scientific databases that focus on different subject areas or provide different types of access, including Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and others. Repositories store and provide access to research outputs, teaching materials, theses/dissertations, and other content. They benefit researchers through increased visibility and impact of publications, and benefit institutions by increasing prestige and supporting teaching/learning. Aggregators facilitate access to content from multiple publishers and databases through hosting, gateway, and full-text services, helping libraries provide access.
Making working thesauri
The document discusses three case studies related to making organizational taxonomies and resources more interoperable:
1) Integrating metadata across three Victorian government departments by aggregating, rationalizing, and harmonizing their schemas.
2) Repatriating cultural resources from the Quinkan people by using Dublin Core metadata with local extensions to provide a single access point for internal and external users.
3) The AccessForAll project, which uses metadata to match educational resources to individual learner needs and preferences to ensure equal accessibility. Standards are discussed as a way to balance local specificity and global interoperability.
Indexing
The document defines various terms related to indexing such as index, descriptor, document, identifier, indexing language, indexing system, keyword, qualifier, and translation. It then discusses the history and development of indexing from early civilizations to modern computerized indexing. It also covers different types of indexes like alphabetical, classified, concordance, and periodical indexes. Finally, it outlines principles of indexing like exhaustivity, specificity, consistency and different indexing languages and systems.
Index report
The document defines and describes various types of indexes and indexing. It discusses indexes by arrangement (alphabetical, classified, concordance), physical form (card, printed, microform, computerized), and type of materials (audiovisual, books, periodicals/newspapers). Indexing is described as the process of analyzing documents, assigning terms, and organizing those terms to facilitate information location and retrieval. Indexes are tools that provide systematic guides to document contents and references to aid users in browsing and efficiently finding relevant information.
The basics of ontologies
The document discusses the basics of ontologies, including their origin in philosophy, definitions, types, benefits and application areas. Some key points are:
- An ontology is a formal specification of a conceptualization used to help humans and programs share knowledge. It establishes a shared vocabulary for exchanging information.
- Ontologies describe domain knowledge and provide an agreed-upon understanding of a domain through concepts and relations. They help solve problems of ambiguity and enable knowledge sharing.
- Ontologies benefit applications like information retrieval, digital libraries, knowledge engineering and natural language processing by facilitating semantic search and integration of data.
Developing the SA Prison Library Service
The SA Department for Correctional Services has a volunteer program to support offenders both in prison and in the community. Volunteers have been critical in the development of the prison library service, resulting in a well managed and expanding library service that benefits prisoners by increasing their education opportunities and supporting better literacy.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Taxonomies & thesauri
- 1. CIAN Forum 2004 Taxonomies, thesauri, subject headings – what are they and how do we use them?
Editor's Notes
- The concept of modern taxonomy originated in the 1700s when the Swedish botanist, Linnaeus, developed a system of classification and nomenclature for living organisms. In biology a species is place in a single location within a complex hierarchy that encompasses the following levels: Kingdom – Phylum – Class – Order – Family – Genus – Species. In information taxonomies, items may fit into one or more categories
- The coverage of the AAT ranges from Antiquity to the present, and the scope is global.
- Classification is a system for arranging publications according to broad fields of knowledge and specific subjects within each field. The examples here are all systems for bibliographic classification to determine the physical location of a publication on a shelf in a browsable arrangement.
- Most library catalogues use a subject heading vocabulary developed by the Library of Congress (LC), which publishes these headings in a multi-volume set referred to as LCSH or "the big red books."
- There are two major types of indexing languages: a) those using natural language terms or words (thesauri, subject headings systems) b) those using symbols: numbers, letters or combination of those (bibliographic classification)
