KNOT Taxonomy

The KNOT Taxonomy is a knowledge organization system developed by the Digital Humanities Advanced Research Center at the University of Bologna as part of the KNOT pilot project. The purpose of this taxonomy is to provide a simple hierarchical classification and definitions for different types of scholarly digital objects produced by humanities research, such as software, databases, digital platforms, and datasets. In the context of this taxonomy scholarly digital objects are understood as being either collections of structured information (such as datasets) or digital forms that enable interaction with information (software, visualization tools, etc.). The taxonomy is used in the KNOT catalogue and intended to help increase the visibility of the digital objects created by humanities research. Definitions are taken from trusted sources and intended to act as a starting point for classifying these objects within existing research structures.
