The term knowledge organization (KO) (or "organization of knowledge", "organization of information" or "information organization") designates a field of study related to Library and Information Science (LIS). In this meaning, KO is about activities such as document description, indexing and classification performed in libraries, databases, archives etc. These activities are done by librarians, archivists, subject specialists as well as by computer algorithms. KO as a field of study is concerned with the nature and quality of such knowledge organizing processes (KOP) (such as taxonomy and ontology) as well as the knowledge organizing systems (KOS) used to organize documents, document representations and concepts.
There exist different historical and theoretical approaches to and theories about organizing knowledge, which are related to different views of knowledge, cognition, language, and social organization. Each of these approaches tends to answer the question: “What is knowledge organization?” differently.
A knowledge organization is a management idea, describing an organization in which people use systems and processes to generate, transform, manage, use, and transfer knowledge-based products and services to achieve organizational goals.
Overview
From a functional perspective, in a knowledge organization, content (objects, data, information, knowledge, and wisdom) are generated by knowledge workers. Content is captured, organized, and preserved to enable its reuse and leveraging by people and groups other than those who generated it. Infrastructure is in place to enable sharing of content across all elements of an organization and with external partners, as appropriate. Procedures are in place to integrate content from multiple sources and mobilize it to achieve organizational goals and objectives. A learning culture promotes not only individual learning but also results in a shared understanding. Finally, the organization embraces continuous evolutionary change to sustain itself in a constantly changing environment.

In this video, we will take a look at knowledge management. Every individual, business, and organization is constantly evolving and generating new knowledge. But if this knowledge is not properly managed the organization's overall productivity will suffer. To support effective knowledge management it's important to cultivate a good culture and have the right technology in place.

Taxonomy 101: How Knowledge Organization Systems Help Engineers Find Data
Have you ever wondered what a taxonomy is? And why it is such a powerful ally in the information management challenge?
This previously recorded session covers an overview of the most important knowledge organization systems (including taxonomies), of their applications in content management and search engines, and of their multiple benefits for the end-users.
Focusing on real engineering examples, we walked through how a well-structured knowledge base can help engineers find the information they look for in an effective, smart, and fast way.

Lecture 9: Knowledge Organization Systems and Ontologies
This lecture is part of the course “Foundations of Artificial Intelligence” developed by Dr. Ryan Urbanowicz in 2020 at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine. This is the first of three courses covering topics in artificial intelligence for application within the context of informatics and biomedical research. The course is divided into modules that cover (1) introductory/background materials, (2) logic, (3) other knowledge representation, (4) essentials of expert systems, (5) search, (6) uncertainty, and (7) advanced/auxiliary topics. These topics offer a global foundation for branches of AI application and research, including concepts that will later support a deeper understanding of inductive reasoning and machine learning. In a practical sense, this course focus...

In a practical sense, this course focuses on how biomedical data can be organized, represented, interpreted, searched, and applied in order to derive knowledge, make decisions, and ultimately make predictions while avoiding bias.
This course was assembled using content from a wide variety of textbooks, slides, and lectures by various authors and speakers on the relevant topics. Some lectures were prepared and given by guest lecturers and thus have not been posted. At the time of posting, this course is in its second year so any feedback is welcome regarding any mistakes or suggested improvements.
