Knowledge Organization Cultural Studies and Their Influence on Knowledge Organization Systems from the Douglas John Foskett's Perspectives

D. J. Foskett was one of the first foundational authors to raise concerns about the cultural as-pects of the Knowledge Organization. This paper investigates the contributions of this author to the Knowledge Organization cultural studies, aiming to identify through the literature the extent to which his contribution has influenced Knowledge Organization Systems regarding cultural aspects. In this sense, going into the scope of our study we are committed to discussing: What are D.J. Foskett's influences on the con-struction of modern knowledge organization systems? The theoretical and methodological foundation of our research lies in the historical, philosophical and epistemological foundations of the Knowledge Organi-zation.
