Authority control meets faceted browse: [theory] : 

Authority control meets faceted browse: [theory] Kathryn La Barre klabarre@uiuc.edu Graduate School of Library and Information Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Outline: 

Outline NOT: FAST (Faceted Access to Subject Headings) For discussion: (1) Bringing search and browse together (2) Critical feature analysis (3) Examine prior art

Period of experimentation: 

Period of experimentation Metadata standards Web 2.0 applications (make data work harder) Folksonomy and social classification Leverage, not abandon legacy access systems Facets/facet analysis/ faceted classification Budgetary/economic considerations Costs of cataloguing/maintaining authority data? (Calhoun, Marcum and others) Cost of NOT finding what is sought? (Carlyle, Mann and others)

Interconnections and interrelationships: 

Interconnections and interrelationships Interconnections Interrelationships AUTHORITY DATA Integration SEARCH and BROWSE Authority data as conceptual map Browse displays as map overviews?

Background: Facets: 

Background: Facets S.R. Ranganthan (and others) From practice (1925-1932) To a dynamic theory of classification (1947-1961) Based on explicitly stated normative principles (1962-1986) Canons Postulates Principles

Facet / facet analysis : 

Facet / facet analysis Facet: Information can be assigned to multiple dimensions (properties, attributes, characteristics, functions, concepts) Facet analysis: a technique by which an item or concept is analyzed into facets (characteristics, concepts or attributes)

Technique of facet analysis: 

Technique of facet analysis Define the subject field- User interests? How do they search? Formulate facets – Extract terms from literature of interest Structure each facet – Look for gaps and overlaps Create scope notes – Definition and instructions Determine arrangement of facets – (Categorize for post-coordination) (Set order for pre-coordination) Create notation Fit notation

Buildings:

High level categories (provisional guidelines/checklists)

Prior art: 

Prior art (1) Early online systems and user studies Calls to integrate thesauri and classification (2) Pollitt’s View-based systems - OCLC demo in 1997 (3) Use of ‘facets’ in e-commerce software -- 2000 (Endeca, Siderean, Aduiri) (4) Use of facets to support OPAC display (today) Commercial software Open source software

Needs: 

Needs Critical analysis of system features Hildreth (1991, 1995 CLIR study) A to B testing Examine assumptions How to support searching / browsing User tasks User behavior Things vs subjects (low hanging fruit) Reaching for the authority data?

Guiding Principles: 

Guiding Principles Postulates: Five fundamental categories: PMEST Three planes of work: Idea Verbal Notational Canons: Parsimony Symmetry 5 laws of LS (Books are for use) (Books are for all) (Every book its reader) (Save the time of the reader) (A library is a growing organism). Others: Consistent sequence Currency Enumeration Context Reticence Relativity Mnemonics Viewpoint Classics Distinctiveness

Planes of work: 

Planes of work Idea: The work of FA takes place in the Idea plane, where an entity is analyzed into component parts Verbal: FA continues here as further sorting and transformation of the selected categories/facets or terms occur. Notational: work of FC -- translating selected terms into notation.

Definition: 

Definition

Facets continued: 

Facets continued Supports the notion that information can be assigned to multiple dimensions and may have individual attributes not intrinsic to the information. Small components of larger entities/units. Properties Attributes Characteristics Slots Relations Functions Concepts

Faceted analytico-synthetic theory: 

Faceted analytico-synthetic theory Most inclusive terminology (Broughton/CRG tradition) / indicates the existence of guiding principles / incorporates: Facet Analysis: technique Entity analyzed into facets (characteristics-things, concepts-ideas) Faceted Classification: structure Consists of schedules for basic classes with pre-determined facets for all entities. Analytico-Synthetic Classification Five step process: from facet analysis to notation.
