By extending current provenance practices, this model represents dynamic changes in a KOS more effectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>We take a five-step approach to develop the conceptual model, including content analysis of KOS editorial data, environmental scan of existing provenance models, development of persona-specific provenance questions and a participatory design with stakeholders to ensure the model\u2019s utility.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>We introduce (1) a taxonomy of editorial activities for a KOS; (2) a conceptual model ProvKOS, which extends existing models PROV and Simple Knowledge Organization Systems (SKOS). We also provide detailed data dictionaries for the entities, activities and warrants classes proposed in the model. A use case on \u201cgender dysphoria\u201d in Dewey Decimal Classifications (DDCs) is provided to illustrate the implementation of ProvKOS. This shows ProvKOS\u2019s ability to capture KOS changes effectively and to link external resources relating to the changes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>Further validation may be needed to implement the ProvKOS model across various types of KOSs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>ProvKOS can help improve machine readability, querying and analysis of a KOS. Especially within the linked data environment, the enhanced provenance documentation through ProvKOS can enable a network of KOSs, which will then inform better linked data or knowledge graph designs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Social implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>By facilitating better tracking of changes within a KOS and across KOSs, ProvKOS can enhance the accessibility and usability of knowledge bases across different cultural and social contexts, thus better supporting inclusive information practices.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The proposed model is novel in two ways: one, its ability to represent dynamic change activities in a KOS, which has not been discussed anywhere else; two, it supports the interconnectivity across KOSs by providing a \u201cwarrant\u201d class to substantiate the context of changes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jd-05-2024-0101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,20]],"date-time":"2024-09-20T08:44:44Z","timestamp":1726821884000},"page":"147-167","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A conceptual model for tracking the provenance of activities in knowledge organization systems"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"81","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5048-8516","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Inkyung","family":"Choi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6123-7595","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yi-Yun","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,23]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"key2024121605215527300_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1002\/meet.14505001018","article-title":"The temporal dimension in the study of knowledge bases: approaches to understanding knowledge creation and representation over time","volume":"50","year":"2013","journal-title":"Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science and Technology"},{"issue":"6","key":"key2024121605215527300_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"517","DOI":"10.5771\/0943-7444-2018-6-517","article-title":"Literary warrant","volume":"45","year":"2018","journal-title":"Knowledge Organization: KO"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2024121605215527300_ref003","first-page":"109","article-title":"Semantic validity: concepts of warrant in bibliographic classification systems","volume":"30","year":"1986","journal-title":"Library Resources and Technical Services"},{"volume-title":"Documenting the Future: Navigating Provenance Metadata Standards","year":"2022","key":"key2024121605215527300_ref004"},{"key":"key2024121605215527300_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bettivia, R., Cheng, Y.-Y. and Gryk, M.R.
