Os signos e as linguagens foram investigados para a organização virtual do conhecimento por meio dos mecanismos de busca. Fundamentou-se na teoria das matrizes da linguagem-pensamento, postuladas por Santaella (2005), na qual se perscrutou as linguagens sonora, visual e verbal. O objetivo da investigação foi estabelecer uma categorização dos mecanismos de busca a partir da correspondência dessas matrizes da linguagem com a indexação virtual e o modus análogo de busca. Os resultados da investigação indicam ser adequada a categorização dos mecanismos de busca sob o critério dos paradigmas semiótico da linguagem em três matrizes, dado o seu modo de ser e sua operacionalidade, sendo eles baseados em conteúdos sonoros, visuais e verbais. Sinteticamente, a sintaxe é a representação do sonoro, a forma é a representação do visível e o discurso é a representação do conhecimento verbal.The signs and languages were investigated for the virtual organization of knowledge by search engines. The study was based on the theory of the matrices of language and of thought, postulated by Santaella (2005), in which the sonorous, visual and verbal language was extracted. The purpose of this investigation was to establish a categorization of search engines, from the matching of these matrices of language with the virtual indexation and analog modus of search. Research results indicate that the categorization of the search engines is appropriate under the discretion of the semiotic paradigm of language in three matrices, by its way of being and function, since they are sonorous, visual and verbal based-content. Briefly, the syntax is the representation of the sonorous, the shape is the representation of the visible and the discourse is the representation of the verbal knowledge.

This paper discusses and illustrates through examples how meaningful or deep learning can be supported through well-structured presentation of material, through giving learners schemas they can use to organize knowledge in their minds, and through helping learners to understand knowledge organization principles they can use to construct their schemas. It is a call to all authors, educators and information designers to pay attention to meaningful presentation that expresses the internal structure of the domain and facilitates the learner’s assimilation of concepts and their relationships.

Tal como as máquinas de busca, o ciberespaço se apresenta como uma nova máquina semiótica, desencadeando novos agenciamentos de escrita e organização do conhecimento. O artigo discorre, brevemente, sobre os aspectos teóricos e práticos da organização do conhecimento no ciberespaço. Esse processo, realizado por meio da indexação e dos mecanismos de busca, comprova que não há uma sintaxe geral, bem como um sistema universal e dicotômico de classificação/catalogação do conhecimento, posto que o virtual opera a multiplicidade e a "desterritorialização" dos signos, tornando impossível um fechamento físico e semântico das obras.Like a search engine, the cyberspace is seen as new semiotic machine, which brings about new writing agencies and knowledge organization. In this sense, the new theoretical and practical aspects of the knowledge organization in cyberspace are discussed. This process, made by indexing services and search engines, confirms that there is no general syntax, neither any universal or dichotomy system of knowledge classification/cataloguing. This is because the virtual environment operates the multiplicity and the "deterritorialization" of signs, making impossible the physic and semantic closing of works.

Elaboração de uma estrutura de classificação com o objetivo de ajudar a construir um futuro tesauro que terá como universo temático a cultura amazônica paraense. Foram coletados termos culturais da narrativa Chove nos Campos de Cachoeira, de Dalcídio Jurandir. A obra foi lida com o intuito de identificar, analisar, selecionar, registrar em uma ficha terminológica e definir os termos culturais. Após a etapa da definição, foram estabelecidas as relações entre os conceitos, formando-se classes a partir de suas características comuns. Ao todo, 512 termos culturais foram coletados da narrativa, surgindo 912 unidades conceituais (incluindo as classes, as subclasses, os termos equivalentes e os relacionados). Partindo do princípio de que toda informação organizada tem uma expectativa de geração de novo conhecimento, acredita-se que a elaboração desse tesauro será muito útil para a preservação da memória cultural amazônica.This work intends to develop a classification framework that aims to create a thesaurus that will focus on the Amazon culture of Pará state. Some narrative cultural terms were collected from Chove nos Campos de Cachoeira, a novel by Dalcídio Jurandir. This novel was read with the intention of identifying, analyzing, selecting, defining and registering its cultural terms into a terminological log. After that, relationships among concepts were established, giving rise to classes from their common characteristics. A total of 512 cultural terms were collected from the narrative and 912 conceptual unities emerged (including classes, subclasses, equivalent and related terms). Taking into account that all organized information has an expectation of generating new knowledge, it is believed that the production of this thesaurus may be helpful to preserve Amazon cultural memory.

O artigo tem o objetivo de aprofundar questões teóricas e conceituais que fundamentam a concepção de sistema de classificação facetada e o tesauro. Apresenta aspectos teóricos referentes aos meios utilizados para organização e recuperação da informação. Os sistemas para organização do conhecimento incluem uma variedade de esquemas para organizar, gerenciar e recuperar a informação, existindo vários tipos de sistemas. Dentre eles, podemos citar sistemas de classificação, tesauro, cabeçalhos de assuntos, ontologia, glossários e dicionários. Descrevem-se princípios, natureza e tipos de sistemas de classificação, com especial ênfase aos sistemas de classificação facetada e o tesauro.The objective of this article is to contribute to and thoroughly analyze theoretical and conceptual questions which are the base for a conception of faceted classification systems and thesaurus. Theoretical aspects about the means utilized in information organization and retrieval are presented. The systems of knowledge organization include different schemes for organizing, managing and retrieving information.There are different types of systems, for instance, classification system, thesaurus, subject heading, ontology, glossaries and dictionaries. Principles, nature and types of classification systems are described, with special emphasis on the systems of faceted classification and thesaurus.

As teorias e metodologias desenvolvidas, tanto no escopo temático da ciência da informação quanto no da ciência da computação, que estão voltadas para a representação do conhecimento, apresentam, de forma mais ou menos abrangente, discussões sobre princípios como contexto de conhecimento, natureza dos conceitos, relações entre conceitos e sistemas de conceito. No campo do quadro teórico, investigam-se os modelos de abstração utilizados nas duas áreas e modelos representacionais associados à modelagem de sistemas de banco de dados, especificamente o modelo orientado a objetos. Da ciência da informação, analisam-se teorias ligadas à representação de sistemas de conceitos, como a teoria da classificação facetada e a teoria do conceito. Da teoria da terminologia, utilizam-se princípios estabelecidos para a determinação de conceitos e suas relações. Garantindo a especificidade de cada área, a comparação entre as teorias se dá, tendo em vista quatro pontos relacionados ao processo de modelização, a saber: o método de raciocínio; o objeto de representação; as relações entre os objetos; as formas de representação gráfica.Theories and methodologies developed within the subject scope of both Information Science and Computer Science and designed to knowledge representation, present, in a somewhat comprehensive way, discussions on principles such as knowledge contexts, nature of concepts, relationships between concepts and systems of concepts. Thus, in terms of theoretical framework, abstraction models used by the two fields are investigated. As to Computer Science, representational models related to the modeling of data bank systems are investigated, more specifically the object-oriented model. Concerning information science, theories related to the representation of systems of concepts are analyzed, such as the theory of faceted classification and the theory of concept. As to the theory of terminology, principles established for determining concepts and their relationships are used. While assuring the specificity of each area, theories are compared, aiming at four topics related to the modeling process: the method of reasoning; the object of representation, the relationships among objects; the forms of graphical representation.

Este trabalho discute o papel da representação na atual economia da informação/conhecimento que se delineia a partir da emergência da Internet. Neste contexto, identificação e avaliação se tornam atividades essenciais para a utilização de recursos informacionais disponíveis na rede. A identificação/avaliação de informações é apresentada como um processo semiótico, no qual a representação substitui a informação original e serve a um usuário como um dispositivo inferecial com relação à sua relevância. O trabalho informacional de desenvolvimento e sistematização de representações das informações disponíveis na Internet joga um papel decisivo, viablizando processos de identificação, avaliação e uso, atuando como intermediária entre usuários e suas necessidades de informação e recursos informacionais potencialmente relevantes.This paper discusses the role of information representation in the present information/knowledge economy outlined by the emergence of Internet. In this context, information discovery and evaluation are essential activities for information/knowledge use and re-use. Information discovery is presented as a semiotic process, where representation substitutes the original information and serves to a user as an inferential device concerning its relevance. Information work of developing and systematizing representations of information available in Internet plays an essential role, allowing processes of information discovery, evaluation and use, acting as an intermediate between users with information needs and potentially relevant resources.
