From the perspective of contemporary society with technological innovations and the informational explosion, a great change occurred in the processes of production, storage, retrieval and dissemination of information worldwide. With the internet and the web the information every day gains more prominence and value. With this, new concerns arise concerning Representation of Information in digital environments. The challenge of organizing and facilitating the use of relevant information in the midst of an infinite range of content launched on the internet on a daily basis is emerging in the Information Science scene and in other areas. With the present study, through a bibliographic review, it was possible to know characteristics of the information representation structures and their application on the web. The results showed that the techniques of vocabulary controls, thesauri and metadata, already commonly used by information professionals have become part of the architecture of websites contributing to the organization of information in digital environments.
