What are structural frameworks for organizing information, representing knowledge as a set of concepts within a domain, using a shared vocabulary for types, properties, and interrelationships?

Taxonomies
Ontologies
Archetypes
Schemas

The correct answer is: Ontologies

The correct answer is B. Ontologies. Ontologies are structural frameworks that are used to organize information by representing knowledge as a set of concepts within a specific domain. They use a shared vocabulary for types, properties, and relationships, making them a powerful tool in nursing informatics for standardizing and organizing data in a meaningful way. While taxonomies (A), archetypes (C), and schemas (D) are also used in information organization and data representation, they do not specifically refer to the comprehensive and interconnected set of concepts that ontologies do within a domain.
