Purpose – This paper aims to provide an overview of principles and procedures involved in creating a faceted classification scheme for use in resource discovery in an online environment. Design/methodology/approach – Facet analysis provides an established rigorous methodology for the conceptual organization of a subject field, and the structuring of an associated classification or controlled vocabulary. This paper explains how that methodology was applied to the humanities in the FATKS...

Purpose – The aim of this article is to estimate the impact of faceted classification and the faceted analytical method on the development of various information retrieval tools over the latter part of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Design/methodology/approach – The article presents an examination of various subject access tools intended for retrieval of both print and digital materials to determine whether they exhibit features of faceted systems. Some attention is paid to...

The paper looks at ways in which traditional classification and indexing tools have dealt with the relationship between constituent terms ; variations in these are examined and compared with the methods used in machine searching, particularly of the Internet and World Wide Web. Apparent correspondences with features of index languages are identified, and further methods of applying classification and indexing theory to machine retrieval are proposed.

Basic skills of classification and subject indexing lhavc been little taught in British library schools since automation was introduced into libraries. However, development of the Internet as a major mcdium of publication has stretched the capacity of search engines to cope with rctrieval. Consequently, there has been interest in applying existing systems of knowledge organization to clcctronic resources. Unfortunately, the classification systems havc been adopted without a full...
