MACHINES AND CLASSIFICATION IN THE ORGANIZATION OF INFORMATION

Abstract

A discussion is presented of alphabetical indexing, Patent Office classification, the Story classification, and the methods of abstraction ladders and semantic factoring. The schemes for classifying information are discussed in terms of index and system size, and the possibility of information retrieval. Each is considered to be a system of predetermined associations which tend to restrict and falsify the full diversity inherent in the free association and disassociation ideas. (See also AD22173)
