Abstract

Classification research at any point in time is the resultant product of various philosophical, technological, social, economic, and political forces. This address attemps first to give a partial description of the present state of classification research as determined by one of these forces: philosophy, in particular the 20th century analytic philosophies of logical positivism, linguistic analysis and systems analysis; and, second, assuming the continued influence of these, to speculate upon the future of classification research in terms of its prospects, problems and possibilities

Abstract

The last several years have seen the evolution of prototype systems exploiting the use of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) as an interface to online catalogs. One such system, calles DORS (Dewy Online Retrieval System) was developed at the University of California, Los Angeles by the authors. The feature distinguishing this system is an automatically generated chain index, in particular the algorithms that were created for its automatic generation and the problems that were encountered. The problems were of three kinds: those that were overcome, but were not for lack of time and resources and those that we believe cannot be overcome. The paper concludes with suggestions for future resaerch and possible formatting changes to the DDC feature headings that would facilitate chain-index generation

Abstract

Key problems of subject searches in online public access catalogs are that too much may be retrieved and that the display may be arranged in what appears to be an unintuitive and unhelpful manner. A study was undertaken on one large database to determine how often the display of a subject and its modifications and subdivisions extended over more than two screens and what the results on display would be of compressing geographic subdivisions and other modifications. The study then addressed the question of how often the display of a term and its subdivisions was interrupted by the appearance in the display of inverted headings, phrase headings, and headings with parenthetical qualifiers

Abstract

Reports results of a project to explore ways of reconfiguring AACR2 for use in an automated environment. A subset of AACR2 title proper rules for books was chosen for analysis. A functional classification of the rule subset was developed, based on the 4 facets: Source, Choice, Form, and Definition. The rules were also classified according to whether they were core or peripheral. A prototype electronic interface was developed for searching and displaying the classified rules. The greatest problem in the rule reconfiguration stemmed from the structural problems of AACR2: rule groupings combining multiple subfacets under a single rule; rule redundancy; and rule scatter, between chapters, and between sections of chapters and appendices
