Abstract

Introduction: This article discusses the aspects and points of contact between the Knowledge Organization and the Archives, based on the texts published in the scope of the International Society of Organization of Knowledge especially in relation to classification and description, constructing a theoretical-conceptual parallel about their points of contact. Objectives: To systematize the relations between knowledge and archivology within the scope of classification and description. Methodology: bibliographic research in ISKO literature and archival literature. Results: Through systematization, it was possible to apply for and could be deepened between the two areas. The organization and the extension of an area of knowledge are fundamental for the development of methodologies of access to information, in this sense, they have been presented in a series of unfolding for the development of languages, structures, classifications, that is, systems of organization of knowledge. On the other hand, Archival has a parallelism of formation, but in many moments seeking interlocutions although superficial or even unintentional with an area of knowledge organization. Conclusions: An area focus for the development of archival classification and description is essential for the construction of ontologies, taxonomies, controlled vocabularies, among others. These approximations, which are recent, must have occurred with the changes that have occurred in the last 20 years in relation to a management and a way in which people build knowledge and seek information.
