Resumo: The Information Science reflections have been with almost focused on information access and dissemination aspects, no existing literature about ethical aspects of knowledge organization and representation (KOR). It leads to the need to check out the existence of ethical values - and problems - which can cause impact on this field, since it is supposed that they are not assumed as that, although they are revealed in everydays practice. Therefore and trying to contribute to a further reflection on the lack of literature on ethics in KOR it aimed to analyse the Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology - JASIST, Journal of Documentation, Knowledge Organization, Cataloging & Classification Quarterly, The Indexer and Ethics and Information Technology in the period between 1995 and 2004. The results reveal two complementary dimensions: one concerning diversity and the warrant of specification, which enables proof of the pertinence of the theoretical principles announced by Hudon (1997), Beghtol (2002, 2005) and García Gutiérrez (2002), relatively to a transcultural ethics of mediation that reflects a diversity (fitted with a precision that, many times, passes by the dimension of multilingualism), making use, for such, of tools that may provide cultural warrant to the knowledge representation.

Isso leva à necessidade de verificar a existência dos valores - e problemas - éticos que causam impacto na área, pois se supõe que os mesmos ainda não são assumidos como tal, mas se revelam na prática cotidiana. Desse modo, e objetivando contribuir para a reflexão sobre a carência de literatura científica na área de ética em ORC, propôs-se analisar a produção dos periódicos Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology - JASIST, Journal of Documentation, Knowledge Organization, Cataloging & Classification Quarterly, The Indexer, no período de 1995 a 2004 (que tradicionalmente têm se dedicado à área de ORC) e da revista Ethics and Information Technology, por lidar com a ética aplicada às atividades informativas. Os resultados permitem considerar que os valores predominantes - e os problemas daí decorrentes - revelam parcialmente duas dimensões complementares: a do respeito à diversidade e a da garantia de especificidade, o que permite comprovar a pertinência dos princípios teóricos enunciados por Hudon (1997), Beghtol (2002, 2005) e García Gutiérrez (2002), relativamente a uma ética transcultural de mediação que reflita uma diversidade (cuja precisão passa muitas vezes pela dimensão do multilingüismo) valendo-se, para tanto, de instrumentos que possam conferir garantia cultural à representação do conhecimento.Departamento de Ciência da Informação – UFSC2008-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/eb/article/view/1518-2924.2008v13n25p12410.5007/1518-2924.2008v13n25p124Encontros Bibli: revista eletrônica de biblioteconomia e ciência da informação; Vol. 13 No. 25 (2008); 124-135Encontros Bibli: revista electrónica de bibliotecología y ciencias de la información.; Vol. 13 Núm. 25 (2008); 124-135Encontros Bibli: revista eletrônica de biblioteconomia e ciência da informação; v. 13 n. 25 (2008); 124-1351518-2924reponame:Encontros Bibliinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/eb/article/view/1518-2924.2008v13n25p124/883Copyright (c) 2008 José Augusto Chaves Guimarães, Suellen Oliveira Milani, Fabio Assis Pinhohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGuimarães, José Augusto ChavesMilani, Suellen OliveiraPinho, Fabio Assis2023-07-19T13:27:15Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/1157Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/eb/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/eb/oaiencontrosbibli@contato.ufsc.br||portaldeperiodicos.bu@contato.ufsc.br1518-29241518-2924opendoar:2023-07-19T13:27:15Encontros Bibli - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
