Abstract

The classification process is considered in the frame of the information retrieval chain. a communication process. Classification is defined as an heuristic methodology, which is being improved through scientific methodology. It is also framed as an indexing process, setting each document in a systematic order, where it gets a predicible place and, therefore, can be efficiently retrieved. The classification activity appears determined by four factors: a) the structure of the world of documents, a function of the world of knowledge; b) the classifications tools that allow us to codify them; c) the way in which people create and use classifications; Scire. 2 : 1 (en.-jun. 1996). and d) the features of the information unit.
