The instruments and the processes of knowledge representation reflect the political and cultural standpoint of its creators and, therefore, they are not neutral. That way, and considering that ethics establishes itself as a way to distance power over others, preventing itself from being the object of any ideology, one can observe that, the issue of representation is linked to an ethical dimension, because it shall concern its utility and reliability for determined groups of users. In this direction, it is considered, by means of exploratory research of theoretical-investigative character, to establish, based on the studies of Antonio García Gutiérrez, Michèle Hudon and Clare Beghtol, the identification of convergent theoretical chains that subsidize the issues on ethical aspects in the activities of knowledge representation. From confrontation and critical analysis of the ideas of the authors listed above, one can observe that the same ones have convergent takes on the user and its beliefs, and complementary takes concerning the professional ability, thus concluding that the values of transcultural ethics of mediation, multilingualism and cultural warrant are inherent to the activities of knowledge representation and determinant to professional performance in the field.
