Abstract

Objective: To discuss, in a descriptive manner, the definition of a set of elements commonly used in knowledge organization systems (KOS) that operate at the metamodel level, their theoretical assumptions, and how their selection impacts KOS as conceptual models aligned with them.
Methodology: Adopts a qualitative approach to the problem and, regarding the objectives, its nature is exploratory. As for technical procedures, it is characterized as a bibliographic research. The content analysis approach is employed.
Results: Presents the following results: (i) a systematic, non-exhaustive framework of the set of elements at the metamodel level described and how they may affect the understanding of existing KOS; (ii) a brief analysis of the use of some of these elements in the RiC-O ontology and its impact.
Conclusions: It was evident that the lack of clarity in the definition of elements at the metamodel level can hinder interoperability between different KOS, emphasizing the need for more rigorous and well-founded approaches that support consistent use of these elements.
