Faceted classification is a method of organizing information that allows for multiple ways to categorize items based on different attributes or characteristics. This approach enables users to explore and retrieve information more effectively by combining various facets, such as author, genre, or publication date. Each facet represents a distinct aspect of the items being classified, making it easier to find specific information. In libraries and digital databases, faceted classification enhances search functionality by allowing users to filter results according to their preferences. For example, a user searching for books can narrow down results by selecting facets like fiction or non-fiction, thus streamlining the discovery process and improving user experience.
