Abstract
This chapter intends to study reference models for the development of knowledge organization systems (KOS) to evaluate their effectiveness and their modeling capacity through a comparison of requirements. The tools for the development of technological knowledge management systems that will be compared are Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS), Modular Requirements for Records Systems (MoReq), and The Digital Library Reference Model. Through a comparative analysis of these instruments, it is proposed to evaluate and compare their main requirements. The planning of technological systems based on these standards/requirements brings guarantees of a correct use of classifications, thesauri, ontologies, among other types of KOS. They also promote their configuration in technological systems and regarding the business processes in which these technological systems are used.

Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow: Management of Electronic Records at a South African Water Utility Company
The National Archives and Records Service of South Africa Act defines a record as a record created or received by a governmental body in pursuance of its activities ( Ngoepe & Saurombe, 2016 ). This definition works extremely well for paper records, but it does not identify requisite aspects of a record that would render it useful for defining complex electronic forms such as geographical maps or changing data visualisations ( Ngoepe & Saurombe, 2016 ).
