A central component of this work is representing the interconnected nature of Hawaiian knowledge via culturally appropriate and culturally rigorous organization schemas and vocabularies. The Hawaiian Knowledge Organization System focuses on three domains of Hawaiian knowledge: Ê»Äå¾±²Ô²¹ (land, place names); hana (activities, practices); ³¾´ÇÊ»´Ç°ìÅ«Ê»²¹³Ü³ó²¹³Ü (genealogy, with a specialization in akua).

*Disclaimer regarding the use of the Hawaiʻi Knowledge Organization System Authority Records: The terms represented here have been identified and defined for the purpose of aligning metadata and description of library and archival collection materials with Hawaiʻi ways of knowing. These bi-lingual authority records have been developed to assist description workers in their application of these terms within collections. They also provide a clearer pathway for researchers to identify appropriate materials using terms derived from a Hawaiʻi worldview. These terms are not an authoritative thesaurus of Hawaiian knowledge beyond the scope of library and archival description, and therefore should not be used as such.
