Introduction: The study recognizes a set of historical and theoretical demarcations in Knowledge Organization, which cross Antiquity, Middle Ages, Modernity and contemporaneity. The technical and theoretical elements are discussed, from writing to the semantic web, as complementary instances in the development of techniques and theories of knowledge organization and representation. Objectives: The paper investigate two aspects relevant in the emergence and development of Library and Information Science: the technologies and the reflections that mark theoretical approaches. Methodology: The study proposal is a historical review, based on bibliographical sources, on the construction of ideas and artifacts in Knowledge Organization. Results: Each resulting information product brought, over time, reflection on the various actions. Among the relevant theoretical frameworks to highlight are Kaiser with its indexing model, Ranganathan's Classification and the Research Group Classification, Dahlberg's Concept Theory, which complements it with principles of definition, contributing to the development of taxonomies and ontologies. Conclusions: The study demonstrates the objective relationship between the technical transformations and the theoretical development of the Knowledge Organization, allowing the contextual identification of the theoretical framework of the domain.
