Sistemas de organização do conhecimento e a recuperação de informação: em busca de diretrizes para a indexação de imagens fotográficas raras e antigas

Abstract

Our culture is very connected to the image. We have the ability to create images constantly by democratizing access to equipment such as mobile devices with cameras and recording citizens' daily lives. Although the literature contemplates the organization and representation of documents in different ways, the organization of images still lacks assumptions for recovery by the user. The procedure in organizing photographic records has little prominence in the literature in relation to textual documents. Information science is characterized as an interdisciplinary science, with the purpose of enhancing the construction of an instrument to inhibit possible gaps within the structures chosen in the planning aiming at the organization of knowledge and efficiency in the retrieval of information. This work investigated questions of organization and representation of information in order to obtain guidelines for the development of a system of organization of knowledge for images for the purpose of recovery. In this sense, the main themes to be dealt with were the conceptual analysis of images, as well as the elements and processes of cataloging and indexing images, particularly photographic images. Different knowledge organization systems in their structure and functions were investigated in order to adapt them to the indexing of photographic images.
