Claudio Tommaso Gnoli

Claudio Tommaso Gnoli born on March 19, 1969 in Milan, Italy, is an Italian information scientist, son of Franco Adolfo Giorgio Gnoli and Francesca Vittoria Bruni.He is mainly interested in knowledge organization (KO), in particular in such ontological views as emergentist evolutionism, the theory of levels of reality and General System Theory, as philosophical foundations for both existing and new KO systems, and in testing the potential of a classification by phenomena (meant as the objects of knowledge) as opposed to disciplines.

Araujo and Guimarães (2016)in a bibliometric study identified Gnoli as one a central researcher and showed his relations to other researchers within knowledge organization.
