The results indicate 27 researchers and 14 institutions as the most productive ones, especially in the Southeast Region of Brazil. Most of the proceedings papers were performed by female authors and in scientific collaboration, especially in intra-institutional collaboration and the largest collaborative network constituted by 37 authors. There was greater focus on technological and epistemological approaches and few proceedings papers about the cultural approach to the Organization and Knowledge Representation field as their universe.
