Abstract

The article presents the contributions of Derek Wilton Langridge and Douglas John Foskett to disruptive innovations within the scope of Knowledge Organization, focusing on the knowledge organization systems of in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Disruptive innovations in Knowledge Organization breaks paradigms and models designed organization and representation schemes through innovative instruments aiming to satisfy the needs of users in the information retrieval process. This paper presents the contributions of Derek Wilton Langridge and Douglas John Foskett to disruptive innovations in the cultural aspects of the Knowledge Organization and their influence on Knowledge Organization Systems through content and domains analysis. The methodological approach allowed researchers to show that Foskett and Langridge's seminal works contributed to the theory, practice, teaching and development of Knowledge Organization as a domain as well as to the construction of specialized classification schemes in Human and Social Sciences that are the basis of Cultural Studies.
