The initial phase involved finding KOSs from Web search results, supplemented by the Korea ON-line E-Procurement System (KONEPS) and the National R&D Integrated Notification Service. After obtaining these KOSs, they were enriched by structuring contextual meta information using Basic Register of Thesauri, Ontologies and Classification (BARTOC) metadata elements and established dedicated media wiki pages for each. Finally, the KOSs were linked to the multilingual KOS registry, BARTOC, ensuring seamless integration with KOSs from various languages and regions and creating connections between each registry entry and its associated KOS wiki page.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nFindings<\/jats:title>\nThe research findings revealed several insights, as follows: (1) importance of a stable source for collecting KOS: no national body currently oversees KOS registration, underscoring the need for a systematic approach to collect dispersed KOSs. For Korean KOSs (K-KOSs), KONEPS and National R&D Integrated Notification Service are effective data sources. (2) Importance of enhanced metadata: merely collecting KOSs were not enough. Enhanced metadata bridges access gaps and dedicated wiki pages aid user identification and understanding. (3) Observations from multilingual registry uploads: When adding KOSs to a multilingual registry, similarities were observed across languages and regions. Recognizing this, the K-KOSs were linked with their international counterparts, fostering potential global collaboration.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nResearch limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\nDue to the absence of a dedicated KOS registry agency, the study might have missed KOSs from certain fields or potentially over-collected from others. Furthermore, this study primarily focused on K-KOSs and their integration into the BARTOC registry, which might influence the methods and perspectives on collecting and establishing links among analogous KOSs in the registry.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nOriginality\/value<\/jats:title>\nThis research pursued a stable method to detect KOS development and revisions across various fields. To facilitate this, we used the integrated e-procurement and R&D notification system and added meta information to aid in the identification and understanding of KOSs, which includes media wiki pages. Furthermore, link information was provided between the BARTOC registry and the Korean KOS websites and media wiki pages.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/el-06-2023-0168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,9]],"date-time":"2023-11-09T04:50:41Z","timestamp":1699505441000},"page":"755-769","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Aggregating distributed KOSs: enriching with meta information and linking to the multilingual KOS registry"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Ziyoung","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,13]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"key2024010412233328400_ref001","first-page":"5","article-title":"Syst\u00e9my organizace znalost\u00ed a jejich typologie = knowledge organization systems and their typology","volume":"25","year":"2014","journal-title":"Knihovna: Knihovnick\u00e1 Revue"},{"key":"key2024010412233328400_ref002","first-page":"133","article-title":"Knowledge organization","volume-title":"European Curriculum Reflections on Library and Information Science Education","year":"2005"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2024010412233328400_ref003","first-page":"11","article-title":"Knowledge organization: a new science?","volume":"33","year":"2006","journal-title":"Knowledge Organization"},{"volume-title":"Introduction to Knowledge Organization","year":"2020","key":"key2024010412233328400_ref004"},{"issue":"2\/3","key":"key2024010412233328400_ref005","first-page":"86","article-title":"What is knowledge organization (KO)?","volume":"35","year":"2008","journal-title":"Knowledge Organization"},{"unstructured":"Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) (2023), \u201cKorean patent classification\u201d, available at: www.kipo.go.kr\/ko\/kpoContentView.do?menuCd=SCD0200270 (accessed 1 September 2022).","key":"key2024010412233328400_ref006"},{"key":"key2024010412233328400_ref007","first-page":"168","article-title":"Describing knowledge organization systems in BARTOC and JSKOS","volume-title":"The 12th International Conference on Terminology and Knowledge Engineering (TKE \u201816)","year":"2016"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2024010412233328400_ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"54","DOI":"10.5771\/0943-7444-2018-1-54","article-title":"Knowledge organization system (KOS)","volume":"45","year":"2018","journal-title":"Knowledge Organization"},{"unstructured":"National Science and Technology Information Service (NTIS) (2022), \u201cNational R&D integrated notification service website\u201d, available at: www.ntis.go.kr\/rndgate\/eg\/un\/ra\/mng.do (accessed 1 September 2022).","key":"key2024010412233328400_ref009"},{"unstructured":"Open Archives (2022), \u201cMedia wiki pages\u201d, available at: www.openarchives.net\/kos\/\uc9c0\uc2dd\uad6c\uc870\uccb4\uacc4 (accessed 1 September 2022).","key":"key2024010412233328400_ref010"},{"unstructured":"Public Procurement Service (PPS) (2023), \u201cKorea On-Line E-Procurement System Website\u201d, available at: www.g2b.go.kr\/index.jsp (accessed 1 October 2023).","key":"key2024010412233328400_ref011"},{"unstructured":"Verbundzentrale des GBV (VZG) (2022), \u201cBasic register of thesauri, ontologies and classifications (BARTOC) website\u201d, available at: www.bartoc.org\/ (accessed 15 October 2023).","key":"key2024010412233328400_ref012"}],"container-title":["The Electronic Library"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/insight\/content\/doi\/10.1108\/EL-06-2023-0168\/full\/xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/insight\/content\/doi\/10.1108\/EL-06-2023-0168\/full\/html","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,25]],"date-time":"2025-07-25T01:07:34Z","timestamp":1753405654000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.emerald.com\/el\/article\/41\/6\/755-769\/82065"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,13]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,13]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,22]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1108\/EL-06-2023-0168"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1108\/el-06-2023-0168","relation":{},"ISSN":["0264-0473","0264-0473"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0264-0473"},{"type":"electronic","value":"0264-0473"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,13]]}}}
