R: Re: Defining basic vocabulary of faceted classification (TERMINOLOGY)

Ciao Aida,

your mail is very clear, I think to have mixed too much plans.

Conceptually, I found the Kathryn distinction facet vs. foci solved some
problems, so I liked that, and may be I was been affected over measure by
that notion.

I find now your explanation equally clear and concrete.

I understood, clear!

Only a doubt about your follow words:

the mutually exclusive principle is about only the "elements level"
resulting from main division (discovery, administration etc.) or also the
inner "broad classes" (content etc.)?

Thanks,
Luca
