This study explores the relationships between knowledge and classification. Classification schemes have properties that show the representation of entities and relationships in structures that reflect knowledge being classified. Four representative classifying methods. i. e. hierarchies, trees, paradigms, and faceted analysis those brings new knowledge are analyzed and those strengths and weaknesses are described. Based upon the analysis, the links between knowledge and classification are verified. Finally a better way of representing knowledge structure through classification schemes in the future is suggested.
A knowledge classification is based on different types of knowledge system. which depends on classified objects, purposes, times, regions, and scholars. The classified contents. however, do not show any significant difference in any times or regions, though there are differences in representation methods and in arrangement priority of representing knowledge, Knowledge or library classification reflects the structure of a contemporary society and is decided by social philosophy of the time. The basic structure of knowledge system in the past was formed in the ancient time, and since then, it has been continuously developed. In the course of this process, the development of studies has generated other branches of studies, playing a significant role in changing the whole system of studies. This kind of development will continue to occur and many new branches of information will appear. resulting in taking each category of knowledge classification.

In order to do that, it reviews 10 research papers that are associated with research trends and methodological trends in library and information science and have been published since 1990 in Korea. These 10 papers are divided by three groups for the analysis. The results show that relatively new and various research methods as well as traditional ones should be provided to library and information science. In addition. the research-based knowledge for the library and information science professionals and research method standards for them should be developed.
