Domain representation processes involve the establishment of semantic relationships in the conceptual framework of different types of knowledge organization systems (SOC). In SOC, the association between concepts is formed from different semantic relations, presenting a contextual structure that facilitates the understanding of the accumulated knowledge in the domain in question. Among the various semantic relations, the relations of place (or spatial) can be understood as spaces that connect the elements of the phenomenological world. Objective: This paper presents an investigation into the representation of semantic place relations in SOC. Methodology: It is characterized as an exploratory and descriptive study, conducted from the analysis of propositions to determine links between concepts, expressing relationships of meaning between knowledge units. To this end, we discuss the concept of place (or space) in different fields of knowledge, based on three place approaches: the mythical, the pragmatic and the abstract. Results: As result the role and forms of representation of spatial relations are presented, exemplifying with the description of some initiatives. Conclusions: The exploration of the literature and the reflections indicate the relevance in the use of spatial relations to semantically enrich the computational applications.
