Purpose of the paper: An overview of principles and procedures involved in creating a faceted classification scheme for use in resource discovery in an online environment. Design/methodology/approach: Facet analysis provides an established scientific methodology for the conceptual organization of a subject field, and the structuring of an associated classification or controlled vocabulary. This...

With the approval of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) by the World Health Assembly in 2001 an...

Many of the knowledge representation schemes developed in the past have concentrated on declarative knowledge. Many have provided assertional mechanisms for deductive retrieval and some give terminological mechanisms for classification and abstraction. However, none present the system developer with similar sophistication, at a high level of representation, in procedural knowledge. Often the de...

Some systems have the need to compare object-oriented conceptual schemas; the comparison criteria used have a big influence on the result produced. In this work, a classification of object-oriented conceptual schemas comparison criteria is presented, based on the kind of the information used to compare (meta-information, population information, exact or statistical information, etc.). For each ...
