	Bliss bibliographic classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bliss bibliographic classification (or BC for short) is a library classification system that was created by Henry E. Bliss (1870–1955), published in four volumes between 1940 and 1953.
		Bliss was born in New York in 1870, and in 1891 began to work in the library of the College of the City of New York (now known as the City College of the City University of New York).
		Bliss had a lifelong interest in the organization, structure and philosophy of knowledge, and was very critical of the library classification systems that were available to him.

	Colon classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Colon classification (CC) is a system of library classification developed by S.
		Its name "Colon classification" comes from the use of colons to separate facets in class numbers.
		However, many other classification schemes, some of which are completely unrelated, also use colons and other punctuation in various functions.

	Library classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A library classification is a system of coding and organizing library materials (books, serials, audiovisual materials, computer files, maps, manuscripts, realia) according to their subject.
		A classification consists of tables of subject headings and classification schedules used to assign a class number to each item being classified, based on that item's subject.
		Specialist classification systems have been developed for particular subject areas, and some specialist libraries develop their own classification system that emphasises those areas they specialise in.

	A new classification for the literature of religion - 66th IFLA Council and General Conference - Conference Programme ...
		The paper examines general problems in the classification of religious literature, such as the evident Christian bias of existing systems, the proliferation of specialized vocabulary, and the variation in understanding of the meaning of terms between different religions and cultures.
		In the Bibliographic Classification it is regarded as a social science, and this perhaps the nearest understanding of the class as it is presented here.
		Sociological classifications may base arrangement on demographic criteria, but this is rejected as a principle here, since the statistical evidence for numbers of adherents can be unreliable or inclusion criteria inconsistent.

		These include the Library of Congress classification (LC) and the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), which are the most common systems in the English-speaking world.
		Other less commonly used classification systems include the Bliss bibliographic classification, the Colon classification and the Universal Decimal Classification.
		The most common classification systems, LC and DDC, are essentially enumerative, though with some hierarchial and faceted elements, especially at the broadest and most general level.

	Facet Analytical Theory
		It was developed post 1950, principally by members of the UK Classification Research Group, as a tool for the organization of document collections in technical, scientific and social scientific fields, where it was highly effective in the storage and retrieval of compound and complex subjects.
		Although the faceted classification is regarded by many as a structure with specific characteristics, essentially facet analysis is a technique, and different models of the same universe of discourse can be derived to meet different local or subject-specific needs using different categories and variations on the syntax.

		The CRG was established in the United Kingdom in 1952 to study the nature of classification and of existing bibliographic classification systems (Foskett, D. Like Ranganathan, the CRG believed that traditional enumerative classification systems were limited by their inability to express compound subjects.
		The CRG looked to Ranganathan's theory of facet analysis to serve as the basis for all bibliographic classification systems, but modified aspects of this theory that it felt were too restrictive (Austin 1969; Classification Research Group 1985; Wilson 1972).
		The model could be used by designers of faceted classification systems and IR thesauri, because these designers might also need to consult a variety of sources to obtain the principles of facet analysis needed for their work.

	How to Make a Faceted Classification and Put It On the Web (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		This is a faceted classification: a set of mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive categories, each made by isolating one perspective on the items (a facet), that combine to completely describe all the objects in question, and which users can use, by searching and browsing, to find what they need.
		Vickery had four steps for making a faceted classification scheme: first, "[t]he essence of facet analysis is the sorting of terms in a given field of knowledge into homogeneous, mutually exclusive facets, each derived from the parent universe by a single characteristic of division" (1960, 12).
		The classification is for dish detergents, and each of those words could be the beginning of a new facet: the dish is the object being cleaned, and a detergent is a special sort of cleaning agent, chemically different from bleach, ammonia, and even soap.

	Is there a role for traditional knowledge organization systems in the Digital Age?
		Because, classification involves judgement — judgement of the subject of the document in all its facets and arrays manifest in it.
		Automated classification software compares the reference schedules of DDC with the full text of documents to be indexed, and suggests to human catalogers a set of possible DDC numbers, so they can chose between them or even add different numbers [5].
		However, it seems that it is now time to explore better ways to apply the heritage of modern classification techniques to the contemporary requirements of information storage and retrieval, and faceted classification should clearly be considered as one of the more important advanced systems.
