The evolution of thesauri and the history of knowledge organization: Between the sword of mapping knowledge and the wall of keeping it simple
Resumen: Thesauri are considered as an optimum between maximum ontological modelling (best knowledge mapping) and mini-mal alphabetic ordering (less expensive access). From this point of view a swift history of its evolution is provided. The recent evolutions in Internet searching are also analysed from this perspective. In this context, there is an immediate role for thesauri to ensure interoperability and feed up the new Inter-net semantic engines; and in the long term as a simple seman-tic user interface for resource discovery and navigation, which ensures proper transparency and control by the user who wants to take the effort to supervise and analyse its search processes. It is proposed that better devices for ensur-ing semantic sorting are provided when necessary, and that a distributed hub for thesauri interconnection is provided, per-haps using the existent big open Internet semantic facilities, as Wikipedia.
