Paul Otlet's contribution to Information Science, in particular in Documentation studies, is remarkable. In the historical context between the two world wars, Otlet dreams of the Mundaneum, an information and knowledge center for world peace. Between 2005 and 2006, the Library of Congress, UNESCO and five other institutions, among them the National Library of Brazil, propose the creation of the World Digital Library. Because they believed in the importance of cultural and documentary heritage institutions in curating informational objects for historical, educational, political and social formation, answers were sought to the question: would the World Digital Library be the realization of Mundaneum? With the general objective of identifying approximations between the Mundaneum and the World Digital Library, from a historical perspective, the research covers exploratory objectives. With a qualitative and applied approach, bibliographical and documentary research is used to make the results. He risks to consider that the World Digital Library has a strong relationship with the Mundaneum, although this identification has not been made in the documentary sources found. The World Digital Library stands as the fulfillment of Otlet's dream-utopia, bringing together and disseminating international, intercultural knowledge with information resources from the most diverse periods, countries, formats and areas of knowledge. Despite the strong links between them, the presence of Otlet's proposal for the World Digital Library project to have an integrated, structural, interdisciplinary vision corresponding to the functions of social life was not noticed, as Otlet proposed: biological, reproductive, economic, moral, intellectual, legal and political.Downloads
