其他摘要：The dynamics and emergence of new
knowledge requires building new
knowledge organization systems and
reviewing others for the location and
access of knowledege. In this process the
structures of knowledge organization
assume particular relevance, as effective
instruments to accomplish these
purposes. For its longevity, the
bibliographical classifications stand out
and among them particularly the Dewey
Decimal Classification (CDD) and the
Universal Decimal Classification (CDU). It
is proposed to identify how these two
systems represent the concept of woman
and whether this can be considered as an
indicator of two perspectives on the
same concept. A qualitative exploratory
approach was adopted, based on
literature review and comparative
analysis of the representation of this
concept in the two systems considered. Two different perspectives are not
observed in relation to the woman’s
concept, because the two systems
continue to translate the positivist
mentality in which they were conceived.
The low representativeness of the
concept of woman in the two
classification systems is evident with
regard to exhaustivity and specificity.
Both systems reflect the notion of
woman in a depreciative and inferior plan
to the masculine, translating the
traditional stereotype.
