Faceted Classification
Monday, October 15th, 2007While doing some research on taxonomies, I came across a nice explanation of faceted classification:
The [faceted] classification of a book on Norwegian rural architecture in the 17th century might run something like this:
- Personality — architecture
- Matter — wood
- Energy — design
- Space — Norway
- Time — 17th century
With the addition of tagging to Wordpress 2.3 I was trying to figure out a standard way of adding terms to each of my posts. How do you tag things?
