In this paper, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on Bodies of Knowledge (BOK) was carried out. Also, the theorical base to build a model for knowledge representation was created. In addition, it was found that there is a lack of guidelines to describe knowledge representation, because of the dramatically increasing number of requirements to produce a BOK, the difficulty with comparing related BOK contents, and the fact that reusing knowledge description is a very laborious task. In short, this paper can be seeing as a first step in building a model that can be used for describing knowledge description in BOK. Finally, a comparison among BOK, structure, and evolution was conducted. The results of this comparative analysis were satisfactory, allowing to determine the elements with greatest influence in the process of describing a BOK to applied on sustainability educational context and base to improve a curriculum.
