Classification in context: Relativity, reality, and representation
Jens‐Erik Mai · Research at the University of Copenhagen (University of Copenhagen) · 2004
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.
