Classification in context: Relativity, reality, and representation

Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskriftTidsskriftartikelfagfællebedømt

This paper surveys classification research literature, discusses various classification theories, and shows that the focus has traditionally been on establishing a scientific foundation for classification research. This paper argues that a shift has taken place, and suggests that contemporary classification research focus on contextual information as the guide for the design and construction of classification schemes.
