Nowadays, the status of knowledge faces epistemological challenges, due to the emergence of new interdisciplinary combinations. In this context, the spread and social appropriation of information take on new forms, requiring different ways to organize information and knowledge. In order to face these challenges, several paradigms about the relationship between knowledge, concepts, category and its operation in documentary languages coexist in the filed of Information and Knowledge Organization. The traditional and canonical principles of concepts organization and the new concept theories, which reveal these paradigms, are presented as a result of an exploratory research. It is emphasized in the conclusion that further research is necessary concerning the existing paradigms as well as a comparison among them to propose new approaches to organize information.
