The Environment of Classification: The Concept of Mutual Exclusivity
Jones, Kevin P.
Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 24, 2, 157-163, Mar-Apr 73
Classification is interpreted so as to incorporate all attempts at the imposition of order upon our observations of the universe. In this article, the fundamental bases of classification are examined: in particular the alien notions of mutual exclusivity and the use of inflexible structures to mirror a dynamic universe.
