Abstract

Acknowledging the importance of classification not only for library and information science but also for the study and mapping of the world phenomena, in this paper we revisit and systematize the main types of classifications and focus on the species of classification mainly drawing on the work of S. R. Ranganathan. We trace the evolution of library classification systems by their structures and modes of design of various shades of classification systems and make a comparative study of enumerative and faceted species of library classifications. The value of this paper is to have a picture of the whole spectrum of existing classifications, which may serve for the study of future developments and constructions of new systems. This paper updates previous works by Comaromi and Ranganathan and is also theoretically inspired by them.

摘要

认识到分类不仅对于图书馆学和信息科学而且对于世界现象的研究和绘图的重要性，在本文中，我们重新审视和系统化主要的分类类型，并主要借鉴 SR 的工作重点关注分类的种类兰加纳坦。我们通过各种分类系统的结构和设计模式来追踪图书馆分类系统的演变，并对图书馆分类的枚举类和多面类进行比较研究。本文的价值在于对现有分类的整个范围有一个全面的了解，这可以为研究未来的发展和新系统的构建服务。本文更新了 Comaromi 和 Ranganathan 之前的工作，并且在理论上也受到了他们的启发。
