Estudo teórico-analítico-sintético sobre a presença de facetas na organização da informação: do físico ao digital

Abstract

Presents an overview of the use of facets in the information organization, between physical and digital environments. Bases the research in studies of the knowledge organization with focus in the theory of the faceted classification of Ranganathan,

highlighting the five fundamental categories represented by the mnemonic personality- matter-energy-space-time, the systematic multidimensionality and the class array and class

chains canons. Presents as results of the research, established in a methodology constituted by the applied, exploratory and bibliographic techniques, that the majority of the models of faceting are applied in digital environments, purely academic-professional and no commercial, being the most adopted models of application, that the models were identified from 1933 to 2017 and the fundamental category [Personality] was the most cited among mnemonic dimensions. From the applied research technique, also presents that the analysis at the interface of the digital library of theses and dissertations, from the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology, has identified a navigational taxonomy constructed from a particular useful sequence, the facets are organized by the canons of exhaustiveness, exclusivity and the decreasing extent of chains, and the fundamental category "year of defense" has no pre-established facets. Concluded that the presence of facets in knowledge organization systems promotes that the same product has different interpretations in a navigational taxonomy, formalize the multidimensionality idealized in the Ranganathan's theory of faceted classification, but without following it integrally at times, adopt personalized mnemonics and show that the sites have assumed the facet as a medium that is not limited to organize information, but that influences the forms of navigation and search of information in the interfaces of the digital environments.
