Resumo: | The research aimed to describe initiatives for creating and updating subject headings list and thesaurus considering justice and social equity, based on literature on the sociocultural dimension of the Organization of Knowledge. To achieve this objective, three specific objectives were proposed: to map scientific discussions on subject headings list and thesaurus in the sociocultural dimension of the Organization of Knowledge, to present these discussions and highlight initiatives focused on justice and social equity based on the available literature. The research, of an applied nature, adopts a qualitative approach, making use of systematic literature mapping as a methodological procedure to achieve the established objectives. The study identifies discussions on the representation of different social groups in subject headings list and thesaurus. Criticisms are identified regarding the structure and terminology used in traditional systems, which reflect a historical privilege for a masculine, Euro-American, heterosexual, white, and Christian perspective. The mapped recommendations highlight collaboration with communities to promote fair and equitable representation and propose the implementation of local changes to incorporate terms used by people to refer to themselves, include terms representative of local culture and minority social groups, and use friendly and democratic language. Regarding initiatives, the research identifies 27 initiatives for creating and updating subject headings list and thesaurus focused on social justice and equity. Eight initiatives for gender, eight for indigenous groups, five for queer groups, five for race and ethnicity, and one for diverse groups are identified. The research identifies successful initiatives for creating and updating subject headings list and thesaurus to promote social justice and equity, especially those focused on indigenous communities. However, limited access to some of these systems is considered a barrier to expanding the reach of initiatives. The research concludes by defending the incorporation of institutionalized mechanisms for requesting and monitoring the revision of terms, aiming at transparency and accountability of institutions in promoting inclusion and diversity in SOC. |
