Right, as can see by page 9 of the book,
traditional library cataloging techniques,
e.g., the Dewey Decimal System,
has a tough time knowing just where to
catalog a book, say,
History of Nineteenth Century European
Military Technology, that is,
in history, Europe, European history,
military history, history of technology,
military technology, European technology, etc.?
So, facets are a generalization
of the Dewey system that is supposed
to provide better options for such
cataloging challenges.
Okay.
In a sense Google's YouTube has a similar
problem: Often, maybe usually, at the
end of playing a video clip,
there is a display of related video
clips. So, if play a video of
Heifetz playing the Beethoven violin
concerto with von Karajan
(assuming there is such),
then what to recommend next,
anything by Heifetz, Beethoven,
violin, von Karajan, or any concerto,
any violin concerto, any violin music,
or just something related artistically,
determined however, any music from
near year 1800, etc.?
Right, there needs to be a better way.
Okay, been working on that. Got some
ideas and the code written. Loading
some initial data now, and intend to
go live ASAP.
