Classification is a primary method of information organization, as it meets the most important objective of information organization, which is to bring essentially like information together and to differentiate what is not exactly alike. Classifications may be used for categorizing and representing entities (or their labels)/ concepts and their relationships. The article discusses different terminologies; concepts and definitions used in applied classification with regard to web knowledge management and conclude with a look at some ideas for the future of classification on the Internet.

Abstract


Classification is a primary method of information organization, as it meets the most important objective of information organization, which is to bring essentially like information together and to differentiate what is not exactly alike. Classifications may be used for categorizing and representing entities (or their labels)/ concepts and their relationships. The article discusses different terminologies; concepts and definitions used in applied classification with regard to web knowledge management and conclude with a look at some ideas for the future of classification on the Internet.
