Museology. Museology. Librarianship. Representation. Documentation.
This work addresses the concepts of information and knowledge representation in the areas of museology
and librarianship. It discusses the norms and standards that exist for the documentation process of the
museums and it analyzes the way in which the treatment of the objects in the museums is carried out. The
following are questions raised in this research: how the representation processes are done in museums?
Which specific museum standards are worked? Are there any similarities between representation processes
in museums and libraries? How can the Historic Museum of Crato work this process? The general objective
of this work is to discuss the models of Information Representation, and the possible relations between the
standards used in Librarianship and those of Museology. This research is classified as bibliographical and
documentary using the qualitative method and field research. It is hoped that the results presented in this
research can contribute to studies made on documentation in Museology in Brazil, understanding the
representation processes and assisting museums in the development of this activity.
