Abstract

Knowledge organisation (KO) schemes affect directly the nature of knowledge states emerging as a result of their use. Basically a knowledge organisation system (KOS) may expected to fit its explicit purpose in a more or less satisfactory manner, but besides the intended application, each system is capable to fit an unknown number of implicit quasi-intended and non-intended purposes. The scope and confines of knowledge potentially emerging as a result of an application of a KO scheme is discussed here with a reference to the ecological approach introduced by Gibson.
