DOI:10.5771/0943-7444-2020-3-199. Abstract: Traditionally connected to philosophy, the term ontology is increasingly related to information systems areas. Some researchers consider the approaches of the two disciplinary contexts to be completely different. Others consider that, although different, they should talk to each other, as both seek to answer similar questions. With the extensive literature on this topic, we intend to contribute to the understanding of the use of the term ontology in current research and which references support this use. An exploratory study was developed with a mixed method- ology and a sample collected from the Web of Science of articles published in 2018. The results show the current prevalence of computer science in studies related to ontology and also of Gruber's view suggesting ontology as kind of conceptualization, a dominant view in that field. Some researchers, particularly in the field of biomedicine, do not

  • Reconsidering Library of Congress Classification in US Law Libraries
    LAW LIBRARY JOURNAL Vol. 106:1 [2014-5] It’s All Enumerative: Reconsidering Library of Congress Classification in U.S. Law Libraries* Kristen M. Hallows** Ms. Hallows investigates the widespread use of the Library of Congress Classification system in U.S. law libraries and the difficulties it can present in some circumstances. To address these problems, she proposes that smaller law libraries that do not par- ticipate in a bibliographic utility may benefit from an in-house classification scheme. Introduction ¶1 At its most basic level, the human impulse to classify emerges from our strong desire to know what to expect. New things that resemble familiar things need little or no further examination. Quite simply, “we know what to expect of a dog or a banana, since they are similar to dogs and bananas we already know.”1 ¶2 Classification also provides a means of organization. One of the most fun- damental concepts learned in a library and information science program is that we organize to retrieve; therefore, classification is not only helpful but also necessary if we are to benefit from the information we acquire and produce. Further, we may also classify to facilitate browsing and therefore discovery—even in an online envi- ronment such as the library catalog,2 though physical collections are the focus of this article. ¶3 In an increasingly digital world, classification may seem like a quaint notion from the past. In a database, it is unnecessary to store records using any particular system, as long as those records relevant to a search are displayed or sorted in a useful way.

In the United States, public libraries have been woven into the social and spatial fabric of neighborhood life, whether urban, suburban, or rural, and they enjoy immense popularity: According to a 2014 study from the Pew Research Center (2014), 54 percent of people in the United States use a public library each year, 72 percent of people live in a household with a regular library user, and libraries are viewed as important community resources by 91 percent of people. As library historian Wayne Wiegand (2011) has repeatedly pointed out, there are more public libraries in the United States than there are McDonald’s.

  • A Study of Web-Based Library Classification Schemes
    Vol. 5(10), pp. 386-393, November, 2013 DOI: 10.5897/IJLIS2013.0336 International Journal of Library and Information ISSN 2141–2537 ©2013 Academic Journals Science http://www.academicjournals.org/IJLIS Full Length Research Paper A study of web-based library classification schemes Pranali B. Gedam1* and Ashwini Paradkar2 1Manoharbhai Patel College of Arts, Commerce and Science, Sakoli Dist- Bhandara, India. 2St. Francis De Sales College, Nagpur, Maharashtra 440006, India. Accepted 29 March, 2013 The study deals with web-based library classification schemes. In the emerging digital paradigm, the library classification schemes sparked dynamically print into web in the beginning of 21st century. Web- based library classification schemes are completely different from traditional classification schemes. The study discusses three web-based schemes viz WebDewey 2.0, UDC (universal decimal classification) online and classification web. WebDewey 2.0 is a Web-based product of DDC 23rd ed., UDC online is of UDC and classification web of LCC (Library of Congress Classification). These are constantly updated, revised and up-to date web-based library classification schemes. This study is significant in that it provided a description of current trends of library classification schemes. Investigative method is used to identify web-based library classification schemes. The databases have been accessed through trial accounts of their official websites. This study mainly compares the aspects of WebDewey 2.0, UDC online, and classification web. It concludes that DDC (Dewey Decimal Classification) is the most updated library classification scheme in the world. Key words: Web-based library classification schemes, WebDewey 2.0, Universal Decimal Classification online, classification web.

  • Library Classification Systems and Organization of Islamic Knowledge Current Global Scenario and Optimal Solution
    LRTS 56(3) 171 Library Classification Systems and Organization of Islamic Knowledge Current Global Scenario and Optimal Solution Haroon Idrees Standard library classification systems like Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), U.S. Library of Congress Classification (LCC), and Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) are internationally known and widely used by librar- ies as the tools for organizing information. Charles Ammi Cutter’s Expansive Classification (EC), James Duff Brown’s Subject Classification (SC), Henry E. Bliss’ Bibliographic Classification (BC), and S. R. Ranganathan’s Colon Classification (CC) also are standard classification systems, but they are less commonly used compared to aforementioned three systems. All these systems are easy to use and convenient for most general collection libraries. However, these systems are not adequate for some special collections. Libraries with rich collec- tions on Islam also face problems while using these systems, although such librar- ies often use expansions in the original systems for their collections. This paper examines this problem and presents a potential optimal solution. The author collected data, using a semistructured interview technique, from a representative sample of thirty libraries in eight countries with strong collections in Islam. These data were analyzed employing qualitative methods. ewey Decimal Classification (DDC), Charles Ammi Cutter’s Expansive Haroon Idrees (h.haroonidrees@gmail .com) is Senior Librarian, Islamic Research D Classification (EC), James Duff Brown’s Subject Classification (SC), U.S. Institute, International Islamic University, Library of Congress Classification (LCC), Universal Decimal Classification Islamabad, Pakistan, and a PhD candi- (UDC), Henry E.

Conceptualizing a Future for Library Classification Abstract This paper traces the roots of the positivist epistemology of librarianship; its ideals of neutrality and access as they intersect in the classification and assignment of library subject headings; and the notion of the author as it relates to the creation of library authority files. By legitimizing their own professional neutrality, librarians have wielded tremendous power over what libraries collect as well as how those works are represented, but have done so with little self-reflection. The act of classifying works and assigning subject headings is not a neutral process. It is time for librarians to use new tools such as the RDA standards to hold academic libraries accountable for assessing their collections to ensure they represent the diversity of voices that comprise the full record and collective history of our culture.
