Abstract

A study of the knowledge-seeking behavior of users is essential for evolving suitable guidelines for knowledge organization and processing. The features of knowledge organization and its use in problem-solving and decision-making are explained. Classification plays an important role in knowledge organization. An understanding of mental models and mental maps helps in the information needs of users effectively. The schemes classification in knowledge processing is highlighted. The paper examines the scope of knowledge organization in modern technology and its application.
