Greetings all, this is my first message to the group, but I lacked time to self-introduce me yet. Briefly, I am a 33 years old librarian working at Pavia...
Sorry I can't give a longer post here but: 1. all terms discussed in classification should IMHO relate back to the authors of those terms. Thus, what is...
I'm not a librarian, but I feel it would be better to separate FACET (the criteria for classification - i.e. color, type etc. in the wine examlple of Kathryn...

... I don't think that works. (I don't think it really matters much either because that's the concept on which I designed XFML and it still works ... Colour >...
From the technical perspective of facets: in XFML (http://xfml.org) and Facetmap (http://facetmap.com), slightly different termonology is used. In XFML, facets...
... Remember too that XFML and FacetMap has one other technical difference: in FacetMap only one facet value can be applied to any piece of content (eg. red vs...

I think some of the terminology problems come from translating the library view of the world to the techie view of the world. I'd like to write an article...
Faceted classification is built on the idea of categories. Are there ways from the library angle to deal with values (like a date) or ranges (like from 1 to...
The most popular structure for a faceted classification system is Multiple Hierarchies. I am exploring other possible structures. Any input on using the...

I've been addressing this on the XFML list, so I'll link to that here for those of y'all who are interested. The two different data models both have advantages...
And one more post before the next wild card game starts: ... I've adopted the word "heading" for the next facetmap rev, thanks to a suggestion from Kevin Keck....

I think you have to make a distinction between what are facets within classification, and what are metadata attached to an item. You have external metadata...
Hello, PeterV: Polyhierarchical structures that I have seen usually still look like the usual hierarchical structures. The ability to have more than one parent...
Hi! I agree with Jan. It may be useful to state the functions (or functional requirements) for which facet analysis is used. At the moment I am not sure are we...

I forgot this. In my linguistic example a phonema like /A/ may have multiple phoni [a], [a:] and so on: we can say, in a SQL slang, that phonema is UNIQUE...

Ciao Aida, your mail is very clear, I think to have mixed too much plans. Conceptually, I found the Kathryn distinction facet vs. foci solved some problems, so...

Luca, so far this discussion is all over the place touching very different levels and issues. As for the facets, arrays(subfacets) and foci, at least for what...

Jan C. Wright poses the question: "Should all metadata be included in the faceted classification? I don't think so, but where to draw the line is fuzzy -- I...
