Knowledge organization A to Z ?...
A solution:
good old classification :-)

Systematic presentationcan act as an intellectual guideto contents

Knowledge organization A to Z ?...
Original German term:
Wissensordnung
= “ordering of knowledge”

Classification
Often poorly applied in online resources…
Lack of integrationbetween cataloguers’ and OPACmasters’ work
[Bland & Stoffan, 2008; Rozman, 2009; Casson et al. 2011]
![Page 7: Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification · UDC Seminar 2013, The Hague Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification: the double query method](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022601/5b4f13097f8b9a166e8b811f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Compound subjects
Most real documents are about combinations of concepts, e.g.:
«the corrosion of tinplace by acid fruit products»…
[Foskett 1958]
Synthetic classmarks needed
(subdivisions, auxiliaries, facets, roles, links…)

Citation order matters
1:34 «philosophy – law»
34:1 «law – philosophy»
![Page 9: Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification · UDC Seminar 2013, The Hague Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification: the double query method](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022601/5b4f13097f8b9a166e8b811f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The PRECIS-GRIS tradition
(Verbal) subject stringsshould be ordered combinations of terms (concepts)
Law – influence of philosophy – U.K. – dictionaries

Base vs. particular theme
Notions coming from text linguistics
[Beaugrande & Dressler 1981]
«Influence of the abundance of wild ungulates on wolf diet in Northern Apennines»
Wolf – diet – effect of ungulate abundance – N Apennines

Two-step search [GRIS]
Interfaces should allow to:
-- identify a concept (finding the right term, discarding homographs etc.)
-- examine all combinationsof it with other concepts
…starting with those where it is the base theme!
![Page 12: Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification · UDC Seminar 2013, The Hague Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification: the double query method](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022601/5b4f13097f8b9a166e8b811f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Double query method
Let’s give the userwhat (s)he’s asked for:
(1) all combinations where the search term is the base theme
(2) all combinations wherethe search term is a particular theme
![Page 13: Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification · UDC Seminar 2013, The Hague Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification: the double query method](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022601/5b4f13097f8b9a166e8b811f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
An application
![Page 14: Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification · UDC Seminar 2013, The Hague Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification: the double query method](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022601/5b4f13097f8b9a166e8b811f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
(1) Results as base theme
![Page 15: Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification · UDC Seminar 2013, The Hague Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification: the double query method](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022601/5b4f13097f8b9a166e8b811f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
…either alone or combined…
![Page 16: Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification · UDC Seminar 2013, The Hague Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification: the double query method](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022601/5b4f13097f8b9a166e8b811f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
(2) Results as a particular theme
![Page 17: Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification · UDC Seminar 2013, The Hague Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification: the double query method](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022601/5b4f13097f8b9a166e8b811f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Double query method
$queryA =
"SELECT * FROM `literature`
WHERE `classmark` REGEXP '^757*'
ORDER BY classmark";
$queryB =
"SELECT * FROM `literature`
WHERE `classmark` REGEXP ';757*'
ORDER BY classmark";

Position depends on search
![Page 19: Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification · UDC Seminar 2013, The Hague Sorting documents by base theme with synthetic classification: the double query method](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022601/5b4f13097f8b9a166e8b811f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Conclusions
-- Principles for combination in verbal indexing(base vs. particular themes)can be extended to classification
-- They help users to locatewhat they are actually searching foramong many possible results
-- They can be applied to search interfacesby any script (e.g. PHP + MySQL)managing a double query
