The links were found to be largely bibliographic in nature, and as such mapped well onto HTML 5. Farradane’s operators were less effective at capturing the individual links; nonetheless, the two dimensions of his relational matrix—association and discrimination—reveal a crucial underlying strategy of the emotionally-charged mediation between complex information and users who are consulting it under severe stress.","PeriodicalId":249610,"journal":{"name":"Categories, Contexts and Relations in Knowledge Organization","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130987627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this sense, we seek to contribute to the conceptual classification in Archival Science, since there is a lack of systematization about archival classification; not just classification, but even the study of historical and conceptual aspects of the discipline. In the context of knowledge organization there is a considerable amount of research on how to build classification schemes and indexing systems that can help contribute to and expand archival classification theory. In order to comprehend this vast field of theories and methodologies we construct a parallel comparing the classification concepts in both areas and analyzing these concepts. Contexts: The Archival Classification The Archival Science has been looking to demarcate its actuation space, with studies related to a reconsideration of its methods and techniques. We seek in this article to demonstrate some possible contact points between archival classification and knowledge organization especially in terms of contributions from the second for the theoretical growth of archival classification. Thus this work is also related to conceptual classification, since there is a lack of systematization about archival classification. Theoretical discussions are essential for maturation of the discipline in order to fill gaps in historical and epistemological frames. Several authors have written on classification as a concept and its theoretical and practical applications, e.g. Laura Millar (2002), Terry Cook (2004, 2005), Brien Brothman (1999, 2006) e Chris Hurley (1995a, 1995b, 1998, 2000) Tennis (2010, 2011) and Dahlberg (1993, 2006). In the context of knowledge organization there is a considerable amount of research trying to understand how to build classification schemes and indexing systems. These studies can, in a broad sense, help to contribute and expand archival classification theory. So we try to link the discussion of functional classification promulgated in the current archival theory, with the development of classification schemes and classification as an area of study in knowledge organization (see for example, the articles by Tennis (2010, 2011). So, we seek to compare the notions/concepts of classification not to find a definition or a unique sense for both areas, but to understand the differences and similarities in thinking about a reconsideration of archival classification, but also having in mind the archival classification specificities. In archival field there is a plurality of terms to designate the activity of classification of documents. Currently Archival Science – in terms of both theoretical and practical aspects is undergoing profound transformation. A number of publications have tried to define the boundaries of the field and there is also research on functional classification for the organization of modern records.

Understanding that there are different traditions of research into indexing, we look for evidence of this in the citing and cited authors. Three areas of cited and citing authors surface, after applying Price’s elitism analysis, each roughly corresponding to geographic distributions. Introduction and Background Reflecting on past research in indexing is beneficial for both the theory and the practice of indexing for a number of reasons. First, we want a greater understanding of the contours of indexing theory. Second, we want to know what has been said so we can think about it and then act with knowledge. Third, we want to be able to evaluate indexing theory, and finally we want to set the stage to develop theory further. The process of examining indexing theory this way is called metatheory (Ritzer, 1991). In order to reflect on past research on indexing, we gathered authors researching indexing and publishing in the ISKO context from 1990-Present, and extracted citations in these papers. We wanted to see what the landscape of indexing theory looks like over time through the literature cited. It is important that we better understand the literature of indexing because we can see that there are at least three traditions: (1) subject cataloguing, (2) indexing, (3) and analyse documentaire (Guimarães, 2008). These three traditions draw on separate literatures as well as national traditions. So it is important for indexing theory in the international ISKO context to study the landscape of the literature. Subject cataloguing had its origins in North America, specially from Cutter’s principles of alphabetical cataloguing, the tradition of LC subject headings and the thoughts of the School of Chicago, whose emphasis is mostly focused on the catalogue a product of information treatment in libraries. Such conception is defined by Fiuza (1985, p. 257) by “... representing, in library catalogues, the subjects contained in the collection”. We can count Cutter, Kaiser, and Coates as core thinkers in this tradition. Currently, authors such as Hope Olson and Sanford Berman, among others, have dedicated to the aspects of subject cataloguing. This approach has found in periodicals as Cataloguing and classification quarterly, a special vehicle, considering it being mainly related to questions of organization of bibliographical registers and the bibliographical control in general. The second approach Indexing – comes from a British tradition where indexes, while products of the information subject treatment, are pinned down from the usage of indexing languages – specially thesauri in specialized information centers or libraries, with a deep concern on the theoretical nature about the construction of such languages, is much influenced by the work of Classification Research Group. The contributions of Foskett, Austin, Farradane, Metcalfe, Aitchison, Gilchrist and Lancaster stand out.

The qualitative and quantitative changes in the growth pattern of literature and information and changes in the knowledge seeking behaviour of specialized users throw up new challenges to professionals involved in the storage, management and effective retrieval of knowledge. The nature of research is also being affected compared to what it had been 10 or 15 years ago specially in the fields of science and technology and even in the social sciences. The legal issues associated with digital resources in terms of their online access and re-utilization have become very complex and sometimes confusing. To the librarian, the effective handling and management of these millions of pieces scholarly literature in digital form have become more complex. Besides, the inherent interdisciplinary character and complexities of digital rights management (DRM) adds to the problems. Law is an important and complex area seen from its applicability to varied disciplines. Due to the immense importance of law as a subject, and availability of plethora of related digital sources (i.e International & National Databases on Law), research and studies in this discipline have resulted in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary scholarly literature with potential applications in a wide range of areas. The inter-operability issues associated with the large number of online databases and resources calls for proper metadata management for effective retrieval. Considering all these points, the facets of law and its penumbral areas need an effective management of metadata. It’s true that the interoperability protocols (z 39.50) of the Internet facilitate access to databases or files from any domain and also permit export and import of data. However, from the standpoint of effective online information retrieval with good recall and precision, it has become more difficult and complex. The shortcoming of the relational matrix of the metadata platform of the digital library infrastructure is seen as the factor affecting effective information retrieval. The semantic web technology is considered in this study as a way to overcome the shortcoming of the metadata platform, where the metadata will be arranged in an ontological semantic manner in a classaurus like structure. Considering all these factors, an effort has been made to draw a prototype model where all the key facets / isolates of Law are mapped into a SKOS model (Simple Knowledge Organization System), where the facets of law will be in an ontological semantic matrix with relational hierarchy of facets. Here the ‘relational’ hierarchy means the thesaurus like structure of the facets, where they are arranged indicating relationships such as UT (Upper term), BT (Broader term), RT (Related term), and NT (Narrower term).
