Abstract

The paper aims to discuss the contribution that knowledge engineering can provide information science, especially in the organization of information. For this, we discus about the changes that occurred in the knowledge engineering with the advent of the web - specifically the social web - in which the organization of information has become collective, a phenomenon known as folksonomy, researching in national and international literature on the subject . The central problem of the text is the discussion on the contributions of knowledge engineering for that science. Overall, this discussion reveals concerns that the theoretical information science are not devoting the delimitation of search and use of ontologies in order to create a consensus about what the area meant by this. To establish this proposition we theoretically discussed the concepts of information and knowledge as well as the differences between the various indexing languages. In conclusion, we indicated knowledge engineering field to be strong in research, to strengthen the practice of the information cycle that must be appropriated by information science as it was with the classification and thesauri.
