Domain Analysis, Knowledge Organization, Information Science, Content analysisAbstract
Domain analysis (DA) allows you to identify and analyze significant knowledge in a field of knowledge (trends, patterns, processes, agents and their relationships), constituting an important methodological source for Knowledge Organization (KO) in the field of Information Science. This presupposes interpretation, which can only be applied and understood in a certain context, because the domains have their own system for creating and structuring new knowledge, theories and methodologies. With the objective of analyzing the international literature produced in English on theoretical issues of DA in the context of KO, it uses the Content Analysis Methodology to categorize and systematize it in order to represent a theoretical-methodological perspective for the area. The Results highlighted aspects related to: Origins, Definition, Nature, Object, Importance/Contributions/Effects, Approaches, Paradigms, Parameters/Axes, Stages/Sources/Dimensions, Epistemic Stances, Interdisciplinary Character, and Supporting Theories/Disciplines, which led to the conclusion that DA occupies a central position in KO, providing it with a theoretical-methodological framework for the development of processes, the construction and application of instruments and the generation of products from a sociocultural perspective, in time and space and , nowadays, with the challenge of multi, inter and transdisciplinary knowledge, which will require some theoretical reformulations.
