Resumo
O tesauro é uma lista de termos registrados de forma estruturada com termos relacionados, organizados hierarquicamente, explicitando a relação entre categorias e conceitos. Possibilita uma indexação mais precisa, pois tem como função representar os assuntos dos documentos. Considerando a importância do tesauro como instrumento de representação do conhecimento para controle de vocabulário na indexação, bem como a necessidade de sua constante atualização, nossa questão de pesquisa é: Os tesauros construídos por bibliotecas e sistemas de recuperação da informação apresentam aspectos normativos? Em um cenário positivo, quais são esses aspectos e como são aplicados. A questão da pesquisa se baseia em concepções normativas presentes na Norma ISO 25964-1 que estabelece diretrizes para a construção de tesauros em ambientes impressos e eletrônicos. A proposta de pesquisa é investigar a construção e manutenção de tesauros para identificar a aplicabilidade de aspectos normativos com o objetivo de contribuir com estudos na Ciência da Informação sobre sistemas de organização do conhecimento, mais especificamente com investigações sobre elementos normativos e sua aplicação em tesauros. Como metodologia, foi realizada uma análise em uma amostra de seis tesauros. Essa análise teve como princípio a seção 13 da norma ISO 25964-1, que é composta por seis categorias denominadas: planejamento do tesauro; estágio inicial de compilação; construção; introdução do tesauro; disseminação e atualização escolhida como parâmetro. Com base nestas categorias, analisou-se os tesauros selecionados, sendo eles, o Tesauro Brasileiro de Ciência da informação, Tesauro de Contas Nacional, Tesauro de Objetos do Patrimônio Cultural nos Museus Brasileiros, Tesauro UNESCO, Tesauro da Justiça eleitoral e Tesauro DeCS. Após análises dos tesauros foi obtido como resultado que os tesauros apresentam a maioria dos aspectos de planejamento, construção e manutenção de tesauros, definidos pela norma ISO 25964-1.

It enables a more precise indexing, since it has the function of representing the subjects of the documents. Considering the importance of the thesaurus as an instrument of knowledge representation to control vocabulary in indexing, as well as the need for its constant updating, our research question is: Are thesauri built by libraries and information retrieval systems presenting normative aspects? In a positive scenario, what these aspects are and how they are applied. The research question is based on normative concepts present in the ISO Standard 25964-1 that establishes guidelines for the construction of thesauri in printed and electronic environments. The research proposal is to investigate the construction and maintenance of thesauri to identify the applicability of normative aspects in order to contribute with studies in Information Science on knowledge organization systems, more specifically with investigations on normative elements and their application in thesauri. As a methodology, an analysis was performed on a sample of six thesauri. This analysis was based on section 13 of ISO 25964-1, which is composed of six categories called: thesaurus planning; initial stage of compilation; construction; introduction of the thesaurus; dissemination and updating chosen as a parameter. Based on these categories, the thesaurus selected was analyzed, being the Brazilian Thesaurus of Information Science, National Thesaurus of Accounts, Thesaurus of Objects of Cultural Heritage in Brazilian Museums, UNESCO Thesaurus, Thesaurus of Electoral Justice, and Thesaurus DeCS. After analysis of the thesauri, it was obtained as a result that thesauri present most of the planning, construction and maintenance aspects of thesauri, defined by ISO 25964-1.
