“…A classificação de ficção de Baker foi desenvolvida com método hierárquico com o objetivo de proporcionar ao usuário quais seriam as melhores obras para leitura. Na área de Ciência da Informação encontramos várias pesquisas que têm como preocupação a representação das obras de ficção, dentre elas: Burgess (1936), Spiller (1980), Pejtersen e Austin (1983), Harrel (1985, Beghtol (1986), Jansson e Sodervall (1987), Macpherson (1987), Beghtol (1989), Bell (1991), Olderr (1991), Ranta (1991), Hayes (1992), Beghtol (1992), Beghtol (1994a), Negrini (1995), Andersson e Holst (1996), Hidderley e Rafferty (1997), Nielson (1997), Saarti (1997), Beghtol (1997), Saarti (1999aSaarti ( , 1999bSaarti ( , 2002. Os temas mais pesquisados por estes autores foram: sistema de classificação para obras de ficção; como prover a recuperação da informação de ficção; a construção de tesauros para ficção; a indexação de obras de ficção e a construção de catálogos.…”

Metodologia de indexação Obras de ficçãoBibliotecas universitárias RESUMOA indexação de obras de ficção para catálogos de bibliotecas necessita de metodologia apropriada à estrutura textual de narrativa de ficção. A falta de uma metodologia de indexação limita a representação e recuperação de assuntos no catálogo. A proposta metodológica do Modelo de Indexação de ficção (MENTIF) amplia pontos de acesso de assunto aos registros bibliográficos na recuperação desses conteúdos por outros termos diferentes da representação de forma "literatura de ficção". A investigação sobre indexação de obras de ficção tem como objetivo o relato da avaliação e adequação do Modelo para Indexação de Ficção (MENTIF) realizada por pesquisadores e catalogadores. Para isso foram realizadas quatro etapas de avaliação que incluíram análise de registros bibliográficos e aplicação de questionários para levantamento de dados sobre satisfação e insatisfação. Os resultados obtidos proporcionaram a adequação do MENTIF conforme estratégias cognitivas e sociocognitivas dos profissionais catalogadores e em função da restrição de tempo para a tarefa. KEYWORDS Indexing methodology Works of fiction University libraries ABSTRACTThe Indexing of works of fiction to libraries catalogs requires an appropriate methodology linked to the textual structure of fiction narratives. The lack of an indexing methodology limits the representation and retrieval of subjects in the catalog. The methodological proposal of the Fiction Indexing Model (MENTIF) increases subject access points to the bibliographic records in the retrieval of these contents by other terms other than "fiction literature" representation. The research on indexing of works of fiction has as its objective to adjust the Model for Fiction Indexing (MENTIF) performed by researchers and catalogers. For this purpose, four evaluation stages were carried out, which included analysis of bibliographic records and the application of questionnaires to collect data regarding satisfaction and dissatisfaction. The results obtained allowed an adjustment of the MENTIF in accordance with the time restriction for the task as well as considering the catalogers cognitive and socio-cognitive strategies.

“…This concern comes later in classification theory (c.f., Beghtol 1986;Mai 2001;Mai 2005;Hjørland 2002). This leaves us to believe that the way Ranganathan structured his facets and ancillary components of his theory is independent of the concerns of interpretation as we now understand them.…”

Describes four waves of Ranganathan's dynamic theory of classification. Outlines components that distinguish each wave, and porposes ways in which this understanding can inform systems design in the contemporary environment, particularly with regard to interoperability and scheme versioning. Ends with an appeal to better understanding the relationship between structure and semantics in faceted classification schemes and similar indexing languages. IntroductionThe increasing popularity of tagging, ontology engineering, and information architecture has brought the concepts of classification theory into the zeitgeist of organizational management, science, and business. A popular press example, a book by David Weinberger, draws a caricature of Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan as a disciple to mystics and an overly-meticulous traveler (Weinberger, 2007, 85). Although some teachers laud Weinberger's description of facets, it seems that he fails to comprehend the full host of Ranganathan's theories and how they are relevant to developing and evaluating information systems today.Through his long and prolific career S. R. Ranganathan worked toward a coherent and robust theory of classification -a Dynamic Classification Theory. In working toward this goal he developed four successive waves of classification theory. They were: Faceted, AnalyticoSynthetic, Depth, and Abstract Classification (FASDA together) (Ranganathan, 1967;1953). These, listed in roughly chronological order, represent the advancement of his thinking, along with that of his close circle of collaborators and students. We can distinguish between waves by the various layers Ranganathan added to the act of classification. In turn, we see these layers by understanding the components of his complex and ever-evolving theory. Facets constitute but one of those components. Facets, when layered with other components discussed from 1930s to the 1950s form the wave of Faceted Classification.Faceted Classification is a method of breaking the universe of subjects apart into facets. Faceted Classification was based on canons, many adapted from Sayers's work, but Ranganathan expanded and refined them. However, he saw its shortcomings. Where Faceted Classification was rigid, Analytico-Synthetic Classification, the second wave, was more flexible and provided a number of techniques that allowed the classifier more expressive power. We can mark the birth of Analytico-Synthetic classification with a paper in 1950 (Ranganathan 1951). Depth Classification was an offshoot of, yet contemporaneous to, the former, focused on domains requiring richer expressive classificatory power. I place its formal genesis in 1953 with the conference on Depth Classification and Reference Service (Ranganathan 1953). Finally, Abstract Classification, the last wave Ranganathan introduced, was seen as a method whereby classification research could create models of classification. Building on proceeding research, Abstract Classification could generalize from practice, create models of how class...
