Introduction: The research has as main focus the studies of the domain "gender" and is directed to the analysis of instruments of organization and representation of the information. Objectives: Investigate concepts and approaches inherent to the domain in three distinct Knowledge Organization Systems (SOCs) and already consolidated in its areas of application: the Thesaurus for Gender and Women Studies (TEG), the Descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCS) and the Universal Decimal Classification (CDU). Methodology: It uses the induction method to analyze the SOCs, which starts from pre-determined concepts to perform the verification, aiming at a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the Systems. Results: the study observed changes and resignifications in concepts of the gender domain, from the analysis of the instruments. Conclusions: As the literature on the Organization of Knowledge has historically demonstrated, the study attested how socio-political and cultural conditions interfere with documentary representations.
