Abstract: This paper outlines three information organization frameworks: library classification, social tagging, and boundary infrastructures It then outlines functionality of these frameworks The paper takes a neo-pragmatic approach The paper finds that these frameworks are complementary, and by understanding the differences and similarities that obtain between them, researchers and developers can begin to craft a vocabulary of evaluation Resume: Cet article presente trois cadres d’organisation de l’information : la classification des bibliotheques, l’etiquetage social et les infrastructures frontieres Cet article souligne les differentes fonctionnalites de ces trois cadres Une approche neo-pragmatique est utilisee Les resultats indiquent que ces cadres sont complementaires et que par la comprehension des differences et des similarites qui existent entre eux, les chercheurs et les developpeurs peuvent commencer a creer un vocabulaire pour l’evaluation 1 Introduction The purpose of this research is to identify distinguishing characteristics of three types of information organization frameworks: boundary infrastructures, library classification, and social tagging Patrick Wilson outlines the function of library classification as identifying a

Visual Ground Truth Construction as Faceted Classification

[...]

TL;DR: A novel four-phased methodology for organizing objects in classification hierarchies according to their visual properties, and not from linguistically grounded properties is proposed, which is validated by a set of experiments on the ImageNet hierarchy of musical experiments.

Abstract: Recent work in Machine Learning and Computer Vision has provided evidence of systematic design flaws in the development of major object recognition benchmark datasets. One such example is ImageNet, wherein, for several categories of images, there are incongruences between the objects they represent and the labels used to annotate them. The consequences of this problem are major, in particular considering the large number of machine learning applications, not least those based on Deep Neural Networks, that have been trained on these datasets. In this paper we posit the problem to be the lack of a knowledge representation (KR) methodology providing the foundations for the construction of these ground truth benchmark datasets. Accordingly, we propose a solution articulated in three main steps: (i) deconstructing the object recognition process in four ordered stages grounded in the philosophical theory of teleosemantics; (ii) based on such stratification, proposing a novel four-phased methodology for organizing objects in classification hierarchies according to their visual properties; and (iii) performing such classification according to the faceted classification paradigm. The key novelty of our approach lies in the fact that we construct the classification hierarchies from visual properties exploiting visual genus-differentiae, and not from linguistically grounded properties. The proposed approach is validated by a set of experiments on the ImageNet hierarchy of musical experiments.

Towards a General Conception of Warrants: First Notes

TL;DR: This paper intends to introduce initial notes and comments to advance towards an overall conception of the warrant notion, and proposes a typological table that includes data on all the warrants established until now.

Abstract: The areas of knowledge are organized around the identification of their terms of reference and the relationships established between them. This is the rational basis of -among others- the methodology for the development of knowledge organization systems. The authority from which to select, evaluate or revise the terminology of these systems is established in relation to any of the twenty-one warrants (literary, cultural, etc.) that have been proposed and studied unequally and autonomously in the literature of the area. This paper intends to introduce initial notes and comments to advance towards an overall conception of the warrant notion. For this purpose, the expression “warrant” is studied as a word of the general language as well as a term of specialized languages. Then, the scope of application of the warrants is established. Next, each warrant is placed in one of the approaches proposed by Hjørland to categorize theories and methods (empiricism, rationalism, historicism and pragmatism). From the above, some lines of research problems are identified. A typological table that includes data on all the warrants established until now is proposed, and the first conclusions are drawn.

...Another of the high points of Beghtol’s work is the statement—never contested in the literature of the area—that the warrant must be applied at all stages of the design of a knowledge organization system, namely: i) in the selection of the terms of classification and in- dexing; ii) in the selection of the relationships established be- tween them, an issue also mentioned later by other authors (Rowley 1987; Barité et al 2015, 77); iii) in the arrangement of the terms of the facets, thus resuming the original application of the literary warrant proposed by Ranganathan in his Prolegomena (Ranganathan 1967, 196); iv) in the choice of criteria for the subdivision of matters; v) in the determination of the specificity levels; vi) in the application of synthesis mechanisms (as in the choice of auxiliary tables or the signs of combination of issues), the selection of syntax devices; and vii) in the citation order of matters (Beghtol 1986, 110) At this point, it should be noted that warrants can become epistemological references, organizational criteria or tools at the service of a terminology selection method....

Abstract: This paper will contrast the broad contours of Ranganathan’s legacy in North America with a general assessment of contemporary North American facet applications. It will also offer a potential model for contemporary researchers that outlines heritage facet-analytical protocols currently in use.
