Domains represent concepts which belong to specific parts of the world. The particularized meaning of words linguistically encoding such domain concepts are provided by domain specific resources. The explicit meaning of such words are increasingly captured computationally using domain-specific ontologies, which, even for the same reference domain, are most often than not semantically incompatible. As information systems that rely on domain ontologies expand, there is a growing need to not only design domain ontologies and domain ontology-grounded Knowledge Graphs (KGs) but also to align them to general standards and conventions for interoperability. This often presents an insurmountable challenge to domain experts who have to additionally learn the construction of domain ontologies and KGs. Until now, several research methodologies have been proposed by different research groups using different technical approaches and based on scenarios of different domains of application. However, no methodology has been proposed which not only facilitates designing conceptually well-founded ontologies, but is also, equally, grounded in the general pedagogical principles of knowledge organization and, thereby, flexible enough to teach, and reproduce vis-à-vis domain experts. The purpose of this paper is to provide such a general, pedagogically flexible semantic knowledge modelling methodology. We exemplify the methodology by examples and illustrations from a professional-level digital healthcare course, and conclude with an evaluation grounded in technological parameters as well as user experience design principles.

This article introduces the field of terminology, which often considers the Austrian engineer Eugen Wüster as its founder in the 1930s, although important principles go back in time, in particular to 18th and 19th century botanists, zoologists and chemists. The contributions of Wüster are presented, as well as the alternative theories, with their criticism of Wüster’s position, which came to influence the field after 1990. The article further suggests that domain-analytic studies based on epistemological studies of knowledge domains seems to have been overlooked. The relations between terminology and knowledge organization are addressed, and closer cooperation between the two fields is called for.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected information-based applications that became critical tools for survival. Nursing information behavior (NIB) during the pandemic was analyzed through textual data culled from news videos and interviews with frontline homecare nurses in terms of how they practiced home care in the midst of COVID-19. Did the NIB conceptual framework change for nurses during COVID-19? There were shifts in concentrations in the taxonomic facets during the pandemic. The present study aimed to explain the contextual changes in emphasis in the various processes and taxonomic facets in home health nursing, as influenced by the pandemic. Outcomes of the qualitative analysis of video transcripts offer the readers an understanding of how nurses adapted to the pandemic. Co-word analysis of the video transcripts was used to map twenty new terms to the Core Taxonomy-NIB (CT-NIB). The addition to the core taxonomy of an emotive layer combined with pandemic-specific nursing practices suggests certain shifts, cultural and otherwise, in NIB. The significance of this research lies in the “intertwining” of knowledge organization (KO) and NIB—two disciplines creating a synergistic effect to not only describe the effect of the pandemic but also to advance the knowledge base of home health nursing.

Knowledge network construction (KNC) is the essence of dynamic knowledge architecture, and is helpful to illustrate ubiquitous knowledge service in digital libraries (DLs). The authors explore its theoretical foundations and basic rules to elucidate the basic principles of KNC in DLs. The results indicate that world general connection, small-world phenomenon, relevance theory, unity and continuity of science development have been the production tool, architecture aim and scientific foundation of KNC in DLs. By analyzing both the characteristics of KNC based on different types of knowledge linking and the relationships between different forms of knowledge and the appropriate ways of knowledge linking, the basic principle of KNC is summarized as follows: let each kind of knowledge linking form each shows its ability, each kind of knowledge manifestation each answer the purpose intended in practice, and then subjective knowledge network and objective knowledge network are organically combined. This will lay a solid theoretical foundation and provide an action guide for DLs to construct knowledge networks.

By analyzing 63 English-speaking institutions that offer ALA-accredited master’s programs in library and information studies, this research aims to explore the education for knowledge organization (KO) at different levels and across fields. This research examines the KO courses that are the required courses and elective courses in the MLIS programs, that are offered in other master’s programs and graduate certificate programs, that are adapted to the undergraduate degree and certificate programs, and that are particularly developed for programs other than MLIS. The findings indicate that the great majority of MLIS programs still have a focus on or a significant component of knowledge organization as their required course and include the knowledge organization elective courses, particularly library cataloging and classification, on their curriculum. However, there is a variety of the offerings of KO related courses across the programs in an institution or in the same program across the institutions. It shows a promising trend that the traditional and new KO courses play an important role in many other programs, at different levels and across fields. With the conventional, adapted, or innovative content, these courses demonstrate that the principles and skills of knowledge organization are applicable to a wide variety of settings, can be integrated with other disciplinary knowledge and emerging technologies, and meet the needs of different career pathways and groups of learners.

In this study, a mixed-methods research approach was employed, integrating social network analysis, descriptive analysis, and inferential statistical analysis to examine the health topic subject directories and the interconnections among health topics within the subject directory system of the MedlinePlus portal. One hundred and fifty-nine health topics related to children’s health as well as 1457 qualified keywords were collected and analyzed. As a result, 184 new connections (140 bidirectional and 44 unidirectional) were proposed to be added to the original subject directory on MedlinePlus. Five new core topics were identified as influential topics in the subject network. This new optimized structural network was proved to be significantly improved from the original one and the importance of the newly identified core topics were verified. The evaluations also included participants containing both medical professionals (2) and medical students (31). The user evaluation results confirmed that the recommendations suggested by this study are solid and effective. The findings of this research would improve the information searching effectiveness for the portal users and offer insights to public health portal creators.

Coronary heart disease was the main reason behind the millions of deaths caused by heart attacks in patients over the last decades. This study is a knowledge organization study of coronary heart disease based on follow-up data. Firstly, we refer to some medical ontologies on the Bioportal webpage and extract some entities and define them based on the BFO top-level ontology, then summarize their attributes and construct semantic model to form semantic relationships, and finally use Protégé to form a coronary heart disease ontology based on follow-up data, and store and visualize it with the help of GraphDB. The visualization graph finally formed in this study enables the data of each follow-up visit to be reflected on a visualization interface in a centralized and systematic way at the same time, thus helping physicians to browse patient information comprehensively, intuitively and quickly in order to find the key factors affecting the treatment outcome.
