The Elements of Knowledge Organization is a unique and original work introducing the fundamental concepts related to the field of Knowledge Organization (KO).

How biodiversity classification, with its ranking of species, has social and political implications as well as implications for the field of information studies. The idea that species live in nature as pure and clear-cut named individuals is a fiction, as scientists well know. According to Robert D.

In the field of knowledge organization, it is a virtual unknown and, thus, presents excellent opportunities for research. Intellectual Activism in Knowledge Organization is an interdisciplinary analysis of the Chine...
