'The domain of knowledge organization is a discourse communi ty in which rigorous\, self-conscious inquiry takes place concerning that which is known\, and its various orderings or sequences\, both those that are natural or heuristic\, and those that are imposed. The products of the domain\, then\, are ordered segments of that which is known\, and the rul es either for discovering their natural orders\, or the rules for imposing a useful sequence. All applied knowledge organization is a form of discou rse\, in which the structures and rules are objects of communication\, and which takes place in a cultural milieu or among actors in various cultura l milieus. Thus a very important component of the science of knowledge org anization must be epistemology. A dimension is an expression of the extent of a space. Epistemology is one dimension of the domain of knowledge orga nization. This domain demonstrates coherence across time and across geopol itical boundaries\, particularly as it concerns its scientific and humanis tic theoretical foundations. Differences that emerge in intension reflect shifting cultural approaches across regions and across time\, and the doma in’s move from emphasis on universal classifications to interoperability.'
