Introduction: The Simple Knowledge Organization (SKOS) is a W3C recommendation designed for representation of Knowledge Organization Systems in digital environments, in the last decade the SKOS model has contributed to an exponential increase in the number of vocabularies published in digital environments, highlighting the need to studies that favor a better evaluation of these vocabularies. Objective: To present a systematization of guidelines for the evaluation of vocabularies published in SKOS. Methodology: Exploratory research of bibliographical and documentary character, with theoretical and qualitative approach. Results: Studies are presented that can contribute to a systematization of guidelines for the evaluation of coded vocabularies in SKOS is presented. Conclusions: The representation of controlled vocabularies in digital environments incorporates many potentialities to Knowledge Organization Systems, but also presents new challenges, especially in relation to the evaluation of technical requirements and formal definition of relationships, highlighting the importance of studies that contribute to a greater refinement of vocabulary evaluation processes in digital environments.
