English abstract

Thesauri and other knowledge organization systems have been adapted to the technological environment. Currently, this represents an essential aspect of knowledge organization on the semantic web. After a long period in which thesaurus guidelines and standards were not updated, some have been revised by the governing organisations within the past five years. Consensus among international experts has resulted in publication of the first part of an ISO standard for thesauri, which provides a data model and emphasizes the interoperability process. This paper compiles the most relevant guidelines for thesauri published between the ‘80s and the ISO 25964 document. We reflect on the most relevant characteristics in this evolution and explore the most recent applications of knowledge organization systems on the Web.

Spanish abstract

Los tesauros se han adaptado al entorno tecnológico y constituyen una pieza esencial como medio de organización del co- nocimiento para la web semántica. Tras un largo período sin abordar la actualización de estándares y recomendaciones de los tesauros, en los últimos cinco años se han realizado revisiones en el seno de los organismos normalizadores. Un trabajo de consenso internacional ha culminado con la publicación de la primera parte de la norma ISO para tesauros. Aporta un modelo de datos y pone el acento en la interoperabilidad. Se recoge lo más destacado de las diferentes directrices para tesauros que se han sucedido desde los años ochenta hasta el estándar ISO 25964. Se reflexiona sobre cuáles han sido las características más destacadas de esta evolución y se exploran los usos más novedosos de los sistemas de organización del conocimiento en la Web.
