- Abstract
- Even for the experienced information professional, designing an efficient multi-purpose information access structure can be a very difficult task. This paper argues for the use of a faceted thesaurus as the basis for organizing a small-scale institutional website. We contend that a faceted approach to knowledge organization can make the process of organization less random and more manageable. We begin by reporting on an informal survey of three institutional websites. This study underscores the problems of organization that can impact access to information. We then formalize the terminology of faceted thesauri and demonstrate its application with several examples.
