Re: Vocabularies to classify terms

Hi Paola,

//unfortunately, existing categorizasion schemas often mix the two, yak)

I'm good with "yak", but I prefer the more expensive sounding "Reification Fallacy" until checks clear, whether the author can even spell Reification Fallacy or not :)

The real problem is two cases which look similar: 1) (trivial) Redundant Labels (Synonyms) and 2) (not so nice, but extremely popular in the "New Economy") the willful Reification Fallacy, aka how to lead and profit by getting getting paid in advance of delivery.

Sociotechnical System professionals can manage case 1.  When the blizzard hits Madrid this July we'll  need AI equipped robots.

 yr question is about a very
 generic example
 
 afaik, such
 schemas tend to be 'domain' specific, ie, you first
 need
 to identify want domain
 your categories/vocabulary falls under, then
 you can try to find if
 such a set exists
 already in the public domain
 
 By domain it is intended not only
 'knowledge domain' (the specific
 topic you are trying to represent in the cats)
 but also 'system
 domain' (the
 platform/environment the knowledge domain lives in,
 referring more to the cateogirzation of a
 structure rather than its
 contents)

 //unfortunately, existing

 see
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Fundamental_categories
 
 There are few purely faceted
 classifications; the best known of these
 is
 the Colon Classification of S. R. Ranganathan, a general
 knowledge
 classification for libraries.
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_classification
 
 General top level categories
 are found in Deweys system, which is the
 nearest thing
 I can think of
 based on yr description
