Seminar on Applying Facet Analysis in the Web
by ayesha khatoon 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

*Indian Statistical Institute* *Documentation Research and Training Centre* *8th Mile Mysore Road, R.V. College Post* *Bangalore-560059* Seminar on Applying Facet Analysis in the Web Although researchers have theorized the critical importance of faceted classification in the organization of information in libraries, still it is not prevalent in the digital environment. But slowly Web Information Architects are also recognizing the importance of facet analysis for organizing and managing the content of the Web, because faceted classification addresses the very foundations of the business of effective information storage and retrieval. It effectively deals with the dynamic nature of Web. Unlike a simple hierarchical scheme (like yahoo directory), faceted classification gives the users the ability to navigate through the content in multi dimensions. Making the Web 'semantic' would entail such a classification in web, where the mapping and rearrangement of concepts will be the privilege of the end user. Therein lies the importance of the theory of 'freely faceted classes' in which the roles of the concept are demarcated while the order can be synthesized as per need. This seminar will discuss some instances of application of Facet Analysis in Web. It will also explore some of the tools available in this regard. The relevance of facet analysis in the context of Semantic Web will be also briefed. *Speaker: Mithun Raj M* * 2nd Year ADIS* * * * * *All are cordially invited* * * *Venue: DRTC Classroom Professor and Head* *Date: 30th November, 2007 DRTC* *Time: 2 p.m. * -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Nearly a decade ago, computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon University embarked on a project with an astonishingly lofty goal: digitise the published works of humankind and make them freely available online. The architects of the Universal Library project said on Tuesday they had surpassed their latest target, having scanned more than 1.5 million books and are continuing to scan thousands more daily. Most of the books scanned are in the Chinese language.
