知识组织的核心价值、伦理困境及治理对策探究

Research on the Core Values,Ethical Dilemmas and Governance Countermeasures of Knowledge Organization

知识组织作为图书馆核心竞争力的基石,其从业者在构建知识组织系统、揭示与描述知识时却往往忽略了面临的伦理困境。文章采用系统性综述法梳理知识组织伦理相关文献,分析知识组织专业价值,重点剖析其面临的伦理困境,并给出相应的治理对策。结果表明,知识组织的伦理价值可分为知识自由、专业精神和社会责任3类,核心价值为专业技能、语境适应性原则、互操作与标准化原则、文化保证原则和用户保障原则。其面临的伦理困境主要有伦理意识薄弱、专业技能不足、术语命名导致的文化偏见及时空变化引起的伦理失范。提出4点对策建议:加强教育培训,提高知识组织伦理意识;遵循伦理准则,倡导符合道德规范的知识组织实践;以用户为中心,尊重不同群体的文化特征;依托通用知识组织系统,面向特定群体构建多语辞典及专有词表。

Knowledge organization is the cornerstone of the core competitiveness of the library, but practitioners often ignore the ethical dilemmas they face when building knowledge organization systems, revealing and describing knowledge.This paper uses systematic review method to sort out the literature related to the ethics of knowledge organization, analyzes the professional value of knowledge organizations, focuses on the ethical dilemmas it faces, and gives corresponding governance countermeasures.The results show that the values of knowledge organization can be divided into three categories: knowledge freedom, professionalism and social responsibility.The core values are professional skills, contextual adaptability, interoperability and standardization principles, cultural assurance principles and user assurance principles.The ethical dilemmas it faces mainly include weak ethical awareness, insufficient professional skills, cultural bias caused by term naming, and ethical misconduct caused by spatial and temporal changes.In response to this, four countermeasures are proposed.It is suggested to strengthen education and train to improve ethical awareness of knowledge organization professionals;to follow ethical guidelines and advocate ethical practices;to be user-centered and respect the cultural characteristics of different groups;and to establish multilingual and proprietary vocabularies for specific groups based on universal KOS.
