Hi, I'm currently researching ways to adapt a website redesign to faceted classification. So far, so good :) Now i'm facing the need to link some data to any...

Hi Bill I'm curious to know if you feel there was enough or any coverage in the literature of the MLA scheme or the Getty AAT, which both claim to be faceted. ...
Luca, I think it is important to understand context in order to be able to judge the potentials of FAST. The context being the quality of LCSH terminology...
I basically agree with Aida. LCSH structure is not faceted at all, and making it "faceted" a posteriori is possible only at a superficial level: indeed, what...
... True. However, I suspect this is the better road since library standards like LCSH, MARC, AACR2 and so on are some of the deepest infrastructure we have in...
Karl, Fully agree with your points. But the quality of a dish depends of the ingredients you put in :-) ... The shortcut would be to go straight to the list of...
... True and I pretty much agree with your points. Semantic interoperability would be A Good Thing, and LCSH is ugly and messy which makes FAST a suspect...
Aida: "Does GRIS actually use coding of facets (i.e. operators) similar to PRECIS ?" No, it just identifies the possible "roles", i.e. roughly the facets, ...
quite true, karl, but... libraries really have no money for such reform (in the US anyway), and if most librarians believe LCSH is a good thing, why should...
... I sorta agree with this and I sorta don't. To my mind, the issue about things like LCSH is largely about political will. We've known for years that...
... I think it's worth noting that Amazon has at least a few fundamental advantages regarding book-information search and retreival: - Practically everything...
... You wrote that this last point was really important. I totally agree, but probably for different reasons. You argue that a search system without boolean...
[Karl Fast] ... Thanks for bringing that to our attention. I would not be nearly so disheartened, Karl. My initial reactions: The Amazon.com "Search Inside the...
... Thanks to everyone who had some suggestions for my bibliography. Some things went in and some didn't, which you'll understand when you remember how it is...

Bill, Well done. There are a few more relevant references (in English) you may like to add. First, have a look at the project report of the FACET - Faceted...
Here's an interesting/scary problem, suitable for All Hallow's Eve... Say I was to build a facet map for a TV soap opera. Of course there would be facets for...
... It seems to me that the problem here isn't directly one of classification, but one of granularity. In other words, your episodes need to be broken down...
... Not really ... you still wouldn't know that Evil Bob wears the pants in that relationship, only that there are two characters there (Bob, Midge), and ...
... If you re-read my email, you'll see that that is more or less what I said, except the I used the phrase 'character occurrence' instead of appearance. I...
... Not me, but here's my take. It seems like a simple hierarchic taxonomy (even with facets) wouldn't fit your purpose. Sounds like you need a more complex...
... I'm not sure you've got a good set of facets. I use the term facet to mean a fundamental, top-level, category. Sub-facets are further level of subdivisions...
... One more thing. Whenever I am in doubt about some facet related issue I always go to the mother of all examples: the Art & Architecture Thesaurus. ...
Good discussion, with a good example to play with. I'll try to go through my solution step by step. Sounds like the real facet you're talking about is "who...
... And this is exactly where I think innovation in this area is coming from: people who are new to the field come up with crazy new ideas (like Travis...
