Materiais cartográficos: uma proposta de representação documentária para a área de domínio de arquitetura

Abstract

It presents a proposal of Documentary Representation for the cartographic materials of the Biblioteca do Curso de Arquitetura, Urbanismo e Design (BCA) [Library of Architecture, Urbanism and Design] of the Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC) [Federal University of Ceará]. The research aims to stimulate new studies on the representation of information in the field of architecture, through the terms results of the analysis of cartographic materials from BCA - UFC. To achieve this goal, we propose three specific objectives: to research the theoretical aspects of documentary representation; study the historical-conceptual evolution of architecture; and propose a thesaurus model to represent the domain of architecture based on cartographic materials located at BCA - UFC, using Cervantes' "Integrated Methodological Model for Thesaurus Construction" (2009). To compose the theoretical framework, a literature review was made on the historical-conceptual development of the following subjects: Documentary Language; Documentary Representation; the domain of Architecture; classification of information in cartographic materials; and the use of thesaurus. In the methodology were used the documentary research for the analysis of two maps, and the “Integrated Methodological Model for Thesaurus Construction” proposed by the author Cervantes (2009) for the elaboration of a thesaurus for the BCA. As a result of the research, the construction of this instrument showed the role of Documentary Language and its mediation codes in the representation of a particular domain of knowledge at different levels of specificity and generalization. Finally, it is expected that this research will contribute to the development of other studies in the area of Documentary Representation for the domain of Architecture.
