In the construction of digital library, it is difficult to find the content information of massive electronic books.Thus, the problem of many islands of information is presented, which hinders the efficient utilization of resources. This paper proposed an ontology framework of the electronic book domain to realize the semantic description of inform...

... Pour surmonter ces difficultés plusieurs courants de recherche visent à proposer des solutions diverses. Dans le domaine des sciences de l'information on explore, par exemple, la possibilité de remplacer les systèmes de classification traditionnellement hiérarchiques par une infrastructure à facettes permettant d'indexer et de naviguer à travers une collection de ressources documentaires référencées sur le Web (Zins, 2002;Hudon, 2007) ou plus modestement dans l'espace personnel d'un individu (Henderson, 2005) ou d'une organisation (Bibliothèque et Archives Canada, 2007). ...
Because of their similarities, faceted classification (in Information Science) and multi-viewpoints modelling (in Knowledge Engineering) are often mistaken. This paper presents both theoretical and practical differences. Then it describes their joint use and their complementarities for content management in a large organization.La modélisation multi-points de vue telle qu’utilisée en ingénierie des connaissances est parfois confondue avec la classification multi-facettes telle que comprise en bibliothéconomie et sciences de l’information. Cet article tente de les distinguer tant au niveau théorique que sur des exemples pratiques. Il décrit ensuite leur utilisation conjointe et leur complémentarité dans la gestion de contenu d’une grande entreprise.
... Although some contemporary LIS researchers have applied traditional theory in the construction of facet-based systems (e.g. Broughton & Slavic, 2007; Hudon, 2007), others, such as the UC Berkeley based team who created the Flamenco system, have consciously taken a more relaxed approach (Hearst & Stoica, 2009). Interviews with a number of information architects and knowledge managers have revealed that though few were aware of traditional LIS theory, most indicated that facets should be user-driven and reflective of user needs and that facets could be drawn from user tasks, queries and domain knowledge (La Barre, 2006). ...
This paper describes the landscape of facet-based catalogs in academic and public libraries. The purpose of the study is to determine and describe the types of systems and software underpinning facet-based catalogs, the number and nature of facets in use by libraries, and to offer preliminary observations of how far the library and information science (LIS) legacy of facet theory is evident in contemporary catalogs. One hundred academic and 100 public libraries were sampled and those with facet-based catalogs (78 and 54 respectively) were subject to further analysis. Commercial systems were found to dominate although opensource facet-based catalogs account for almost one quarter of the academic sample. Bibliographic facets, such as language, format and publication date appeared frequently across both samples – arguably speaking more to the ease with which this metadata can be extracted than to its usefulness to an information seeker. Though small areas of convergence with LIS facet theory were identified, there remains considerable opportunity to unite policy and modern practice.
... The facets in use by this project include: Agent (who?), Activity or process (what?), Method or tool (how?), Space or context (where?), Time (when?), and foundations (general documents) (Hudon & Mas, 2006;Hudon, 2007). ...
... In turn, the observed tasks, a sample of the collection, and extant vocabularies and indexing tools already in use for this type of material will also be subjected to facet analysis. Rather than creating a collection to study (Hudon, 2007), the folktales project will examine the folklore collection that is already part of the Center for Children's Books at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at Urbana-Champaign. Scholars, storytellers, students, and instructors currently use this collection. ...
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.
