Abstract:

It aims to explore knowledge organization methods and ethical norms that are in line with the development of digital culture, and to provide support for the healthy development of the ecology in the field of digital culture. On the basis of defining the concepts of digital culture, knowledge organization and knowledge organization ethics, this study explores the relationship among the three. It is found that knowledge organization is revitalized in the digital transformation of culture as a key element linking digital culture and public communication and a lens for mapping social reality, while ethics is a necessary means to judge and test the fairness of knowledge organization in the perspective of digital culture. The ethical issues of knowledge organization under the vision of digital culture include the restriction of access to cultural resources and selection bias, implicit bias in the representation and expression of knowledge, the values and decision-making bias of practitioners of knowledge organization, the user's bias in knowledge organization and sharing in the digital culture scenario, and the filtering and bias of knowledge triggered by artificial intelligence technology. In the future, it is of far-reaching significance to rationally use digital technologies and promote the construction of knowledge organization systems with cross-cultural perspectives.
