From classification phylosophy to bibliographic classification

Abstract

Classification is an important function for the transparency and sharing of information. It can be known as matrix, when others functions come from it. And it has always been a preoccupation since ancient times, because all human action is classified. But, the existing bibliographic systems don’t stand the informational volume, which causes deficiency of information retrieval in the moment of the search. Information treatment methods that make possible the answers for documents organization are needed. Also, a previous planning of procedures to guarantee accessible ways to information needs observations. The user is the principal goal of this system and it is understood that the bibliographic classification must answer his needs. The changes are constant and necessary. The classification systems need to deepen the concepts and categories theories to help the knowledge representation. It needs deeper studies of researchers of this area, given that the growth of collections and digital information created a new reality that demands it. However, the existing classifications systems have had difficulty to follow the growing evolution of knowledge, causing difficulties for the researchers to retrieve the volume of information successfully.
