The Elements of Knowledge Organization is a unique and original
work introducing the fundamental concepts related to the field of
Knowledge Organization (KO). There is no other book like it
currently available. The author begins the book with a
comprehensive discussion of “knowledge” and its associated
theories. He then presents a thorough discussion of the
philosophical underpinnings of knowledge organization. The author
walks the reader through the Knowledge Organization domain
expanding the core topics of ontologies, taxonomies,
classification, metadata, thesauri and domain analysis. The author
also presents the compelling challenges associated with the
organization of knowledge. This is the first book focused on the
concepts and theories associated with KO domain. Prior to this
book, individuals wishing to study Knowledge Organization in its
broadest sense would generally collocate their own resources,
navigating the various methods and models and perhaps inadvertently
excluding relevant materials. This text cohesively links key and
related KO material and provides a deeper understanding of the
domain in its broadest sense and with enough detail to truly
investigate its many facets. This book will be useful to both
graduate and undergraduate students in the computer science and
information science domains both as a text and as a reference book.
It will also be valuable to researchers and practitioners in the
industry who are working on website development, database
administration, data mining, data warehousing and data for search
engines. The book is also beneficial to anyone interested in the
concepts and theories associated with the organization of
knowledge. Dr. Richard P. Smiraglia is a world-renowned author who
is well published in the Knowledge Organization domain. Dr.
Smiraglia is editor-in-chief of the journal Knowledge Organization,
published by Ergon-Verlag of Würzburg. He is a professor and
member of the Information Organization Research Group at the School
of Information Studies at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee.
