Multiple Alternative Classification Criteria

Title: Faceted Classification Scheme (FCS)

Description: This modeling issue refers to the conceptualization of a specific domain concept using a Faceted Classification Scheme (FCS).

A FCS is defined as: "a set of mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive categories, each made by isolating one perspective on the items (a facet), that combine to completely describe all the objects in question, and which users can use, by searching and browsing, to find what they need" (Denton, 2003).

The section Diagram below presents an example of a FCS in the domain of "Dishwashing Detergent" from (Denton, 2003).

Competency Questions Allow me to retrieve all "elements" (classes/individuals) of a "domain concept" viewed by a combination of values from various "classification criteria" (or "facets").
Scenarios Retrieve all "dishwashing detergents" whose "Brand" is "Palmolive" and whose "Scent" is "lemon".

Additional information

A more detailed explanation of this modeling issue and the rationale of one proposed solution is presented in the paper: How to Reuse a Faceted Classification and Put It on the Semantic Web.


The OWL file in section Proposed Solutions provides an OWL DL implementation of the example FCS in section Diagram applying the Normalization ODP as outlined in the paper mentioned.
