Devoted to Concept Theory, Classification, Indexing and Knowledge 
Representation

Official Quarterly Journal of the International Society for Knowledge 
Organization (ISKO)

Published by ERGON-Verlag, Würzburg, Germany

Knowledge Organization is an international refereed quarterly journal 
that publishes scholarly papers and reports related to all aspects of 
knowledge organization, which we define broadly as the conceptual 
ordering of knowledge.

Scope of KO: Our journal is devoted to questions of the adequate 
structuring and construction of ordering systems, and on the problems 
of their use in providing access to information contents of 
literature, data, or other objects of scientific interest. 
Contributions: (1) clarify theoretical foundations (general ordering 
theory, philosophical foundations of knowledge and its artifacts, 
theoretical bases of classification, data analysis and reduction); 
(2) describe practical operations associated with indexing and 
classification, as well as applications of classification systems and 
thesauri, manual and machine indexing; (3) trace the history of 
knowledge organization; (4) discuss questions of education and 
training in classification; and (5) problems of terminology in 
general and with respect to special fields.

Aims of KO: Knowledge Organization is a forum for all those 
interested in the organization of knowledge on a universal or a 
domain-specific scale, using concept-analytical or 
concept-synthetical approaches, as well as quantitative and 
qualitative methodologies. Knowledge Organization also addresses the 
intellectual and automatic compilation and use of classification 
systems and thesauri in all fields of knowledge, with special 
attention being given to the problems of terminology.
