What's Inside:
Using a faceted approach, you describe each piece of information by its different facets (aspects or characteristics). By comparison, using a classification approach you fit each piece of information into the closest match in a predefined taxonomy or file plan. Critically, information is useful to different people for different reasons. The faceted, or descriptive, approach enables it to be retrieved by any of its different characteristics.
