English abstract

Objective: Study about the epistemic stances that influence the knowledge organization domain by analyzing its scholarly literature. It aims to describe the conception of epistemology in the journal Knowledge Organization through metatheory. Methods: It is an exploratory and descriptive research that develops a metatheoretical study based on Ritzer’s metatheory. In theanalysis stage, two grounded theory tools were used, coding and memoing. Results: Three attribute families arose from the coding and memoing processes: the concept of epistemology in knowledgeorganization, the purpose of epistemology of knowledge organization and, epistemic stances influencing the knowledgeorganization domain. The third attribute family is analyzed in this paper. Empiricism, rationalism, historicism and pragmatismare described as the mains epistemic stances influencing the domain. The pragmatist stance is prominent in the analysis, followedby critical theories and historicism. Conclusions: The study concludes that the conception of epistemology on the knowledge organization domain is the criticalstudy of principles, hypothesis and knowledge production in the domain. Epistemology is concerned with the scientific knowledgeproduced by the knowledge organization domain, as well as with the application of that knowledge to design the KnowledgeOrganization Systems and to support the knowledge organization process as a whole.

Objetivo: Estudo sobre posições epistêmicas que influenciam o domínio da organização do conhecimento a partir da análiseda literatura científica. Objetiva descrever a concepção de epistemologia no periódico Knowledge Organization por meio dametateoria. Método: Pesquisa exploratória e descritiva que desenvolve um estudo metateórico baseado na metateoria de Ritzer. Duasferramentas da teoria fundamentada em dados foram utilizadas, codificação e memorando. Resultado: Três famílias de atributos foram identificadas a partir do processo de codificação e do memorando: o conceitode epistemologia na organização do conhecimento, seu propósito e as posições epistêmicas que influenciam o domínio. Aterceira família de atributos é analisada neste artigo. Empirismo, racionalismo, historicismo e pragmatismo são descritos como asprincipais posições epistêmicas que influenciam o domínio. O pragmatismo predomina na análise, seguido das teorias críticas edo historicismo. Conclusões: O estudo conclui que a concepção da epistemologia no domínio da organização do conhecimento é o estudo críticodos princípios, hipóteses e produção de conhecimento no domínio. A epistemologia se preocupa com o conhecimento científicoproduzido pelo domínio da organização do conhecimento, bem como com a aplicação do conhecimento para a criação dos sistemasde organização do conhecimento para apoiar o processo de organização do conhecimento como um todo.
