Abstract

This paper seeks to explore how the three hallmark dimensions of Information Organization—(1) Access, (2) Discovery, and (3) Retrieval—each as a construct paves the way for the rise of misinformation and, consequently, be the essential areas of interest for its control and regulations. Furthermore, the role of social networking platforms, grounded on folksonomy-designed environments, is examined on how they function as a seminal contributing factor for the creation and persistence of misinformation. A taxonomic approach as an addendum for the remedy of misinformation is assessed, including suggestions for its more robust implementation. This paper concludes with a summative precis of the presented ideas and literature on this subject and stipulates the general limitations of Information Organization and Knowledge Structuring in their applications in the domain of misinformation.
