	End User's Corner - March 1998
		While a student in librarianship in 1924, Ranganathan found that the Dewey Decimal Classification and other classification schemes in use at the time were faulty in their underlying principle of attempting to list all the possible subjects, assign each a predetermined class number, and subsequently fit every book into existing pigeon-holes.
		The major element that gives rise to the name of his classification is the use of colons in its notation scheme, along with three other punctuation marks, to distinguish between facets in a single notation or class number.
		Although Ranganathan strived to avoid the linear in terms of classification structure, he was forced to create a notation in which a combination of facets could be expressed in a linear fashion so that the books being classified using Colon Classification would have a single place on a shelf in a library.

	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.

		Colonization (or colonisation) is the act where life forms move into a distant area where their kind is sparse or not yet existing at all and set up new settlements in the area.
		Colonization applies to all life forms in a sense though it is most often used in reference to insects and humans.
		Human colonization is not to be confused with colonialism or imperialism, colonization just means people immigrating en masse to one relatively uninhabited location and expanding their civilization into this area.

	Chapter 12: Colon and Rectum
		The transverse colon is connected to the descending colon by the splenic flexure which is located near the spleen and tail of the pancreas.
		The anatomic areas of the colon and rectum are: cecum (1); ascending colon (2); hepatic flexure (3); transverse colon (4); splenic fixture (5); descending colon (6); sigmoid (7); rectosigmoid (7.5); rectum (8); anal canal (9);.
		Regional nodes are located: (1) along the course of the major vessels supplying the colon and rectum; (2) along the vascular arcades of the marginal artery; and (3) adjacent to the colon; that is, located along the mesocolic border of the colon.

		Classification, the first device mentioned, involves the development and use of a scheme for the systematic organization of knowledge.
		The basic features of facet analysis, or analytico-synthetic classification, are: the analysis of compound subjects into terms, the organization of those terms into facets, the display of relationships between the terms, and the synthesis of terms into compound subject headings.
		The British Catalogue of Music Classification, developed by Eric Coates for the British National Bibliography, was a fully faceted scheme influenced by the Colon Classification.

		Although Ranganathan was not the inventor of facet analysis, he is credited as the first to "systematize and formalize the theory" (Chan 1994, 390).
		It is said that Ranganthan's idea of a faceted classification scheme is inspired by a Lego-type toy set.
		The Colon Classification, just as other classification schemes, starts with a number of main classes (42), which represent the fields of knowledge.

	Faceted Classification
		A faceted classification differs from a traditional one in that it does not assign fixed slots to subjects in sequence, but uses clearly defined, mutually exclusive, and collectively exhaustive aspects, properties, or characteristics of a class or specific subject.
		Such aspects, properties, or characteristics are called facets of a class or subject, a term introduced into classification theory and given this new meaning by the Indian librarian and classificationist S.R. Ranganathan and first used in his Colon Classification in the early 1930s.
		One of the primary benefits of faceted classification is that even if you don’t know the name of an object, you can achieve a very accurate shared understanding of what it is by describing it in terms of several mutually exclusive categories of information.

	La Colon classification. -- (AIB-WEB. Contributi)
		La Colon, prima di essere una classificazione, è un vero e proprio impianto filosofico, complesso e strutturato di sistemazione dell'essere e del divenire che molto deve alla tradizione sistematica tradizionale.
		Oggi è molto difficile vedere applicata la Colon classification: nella maggior parte dei casi vive solo negli esempi degli studi di biblioteconomia, dove l'elemento rotazionale rispetto all'analisi verbale resta assolutamente in secondo piano.
		La Colon classification, a metà tra tradizione indiana e influenza occidentale (non dimentichiamo che Raganathan studiò in Inghilterra), fu, a torto, una delle vittime illustri di questa politica di modernizzazione e occidentalizzazione.

	Ranganathan and Facet Analysis
		The Colon Classification system has 42 main classes, labeled with one or two letters of the alphabet.
		But Colon Classification, rather than simply dividing the main classes into a series of subordinate classes, as most systems do, subdivides each main class by particular characteristics into facets.
		The facets, which are labeled in the Colon Classification system by Arabic numbers, are then combined to make subordinate classes as needed.

	A Simplified Model for Facet Analysis
		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.
		As has been stated previously, the consultation of a number of classification systems and IR faceted thesauri has revealed that the CRG approach in these two areas appears to be very popular among the designers of these systems and thesauri, perhaps because of the greater flexibility that this approach allows.

	How to Make a Faceted Classification and Put It On the Web (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		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.

	Boxes and Arrows: Ranganathan for IAs
		Francis Miksa stated it well: “Ranganathan treated library classification as a single unified structure of ideas which flowed from a cohesive set of basic principles” (Miksa, 1998) Ranganathan aimed big—he was looking for the fundamental laws that underlie experience and it quickly became an obsession.
		For Ranganathan, the problem with the Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress classification systems is that they used indexing terms that had to be thought out before the object being described could fit into the system.
		Also, keep in mind that the specifics of how the Colon Classification works are complex (be skeptical of anyone who claims to understand them), and are generally beyond the realm of the practicing IA.
