Classificazione a faccette
by Claudio Gnoli (2004)
Subject: Education & Training, Faceted Classification, Library & Information Science
Language: Italiano
Abstract: L'idea di esprimere la classe di un documento per combinazione di diversi aspetti del suo contenuto (le faccette) è dovuto all'indiano Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan (1892-1972). Incaricato di gestire la biblioteca universitaria di Madras, egli trascorse alcuni mesi a studiare biblioteconomia a Londra, venendo così a contatto con LCC, DDC e UDC. Il loro funzionamento però lo lasciava insoddisfatto; il modo di superare i limiti gli fu ispirato nel 1924 da un gioco matematico. A partire da questa idea, Ranganathan si dedicò all'elaborazione di un nuovo schema di classificazione basato sul principio delle faccette.
