Examination of the systemic properties and forms of interaction that characterize classification and categorization reveals fundamental syntactic differences between the structure of classification systems and the structure of categorization systems. These distinctions lead to meaningful differences in the contexts within which information can be apprehended and influence the semantic information available to the individual. Structural and semantic differences between classification and…

The structure of context: implications of structure for the creation of context in information systems
Structural differences between systems of classification and categorization lead to meaningful differences in the contexts within which information call be apprehended. Examination of systemic…
Classificatory Structure and the Evaluation of Document Classifications. The Case of Constitutive Classification
TLDR
This paper illustrates the second, “functionalist” position by means of a historical case study examining the contrasting evaluations of a single structural form namely, the flat (a)hierarchical structure known as constitutive classification by two early pioneers of knowledge organization.
The social life of categories: An empirical study of term categorization
TLDR
An approach that used the librarianship principle of consensus to form categories of terms and to relate those categories using a domain reference group to demonstrate the value of the SLC for explaining the variations between reference group members, and showed the potential for explaining category changes over time.
Diversity and difference research: a reflection on categories and categorization
In the paper, we reflect on power aspects of categories, and the implications of using preestablished categories in diversity and difference research. With inspiration from intersectionality we…
A Pluralistic Approach to the Philosophy of Classification
TLDR
The nature of a work, the value of a statement, the contribution of information science to philosophy, the nature of hierarchy, ethical evaluation, pre- versus postcoordination, the lived experience of librarians, and formalization versus natural language are explored.
Towards a typology of classificatory change
TLDR
The typology proposed here attempts to situate classification schemes within a context of use, interacting with other elements of the information environment as the digital information landscape continues to evolve.
Drawing Distinctions: The Visualization of Classification
TLDR
Four types of visual classifications are distinguished, based on their differing ability to emphasize hierarchies or group relations, which can augment the entire research process, including hypothesis formation, testing, interpretation and result reporting.
Drawing Distinctions: The Visualization of Classification in Qualitative Research
TLDR
This paper distinguishes among four types of visual classifications, based on their differing ability to emphasize hierarchies or (lateral) group relations, and label these as compilations, configurations, layers, and trees.
An examination of interdisciplinary theory between cognitive categorization and knowledge organization
This paper is a preliminary comparison of the theories used to represent concepts in the field of knowledge organization with similar theories that are used in the field of cognitive categorization.…

The instability of graded structure: implications for the nature of concepts
TLDR
This chapter reviews empirical findings showing that the graded structure of a category is unstable, varying widely across contexts, and it is concluded that graded structures do not represent invariant structural characteristics of Categories.

TLDR
Ellen Markman challenges the fundamental assumptions of traditional theories of language acquisition and proposes that a set of constraints or principles of induction allows children to efficiently integrate knowledge and to induce information about new examples of familiar categories.
The everyday world of work: two approaches to the investigation of classification in context
TLDR
Two different but complementary approaches to the investigation of situated cognition are presented: cognition‐as‐scaffolding and cognition‐ as‐infrastructure, shown to build upon and extend T.D. Wilson’s contention that research is most productive when it attends to the social and organisational contexts of cognitive activity by focusing on the everyday world of work.
