The Progress of Theory in Knowledge Organization.
Smiraglia, Richard P.
Library Trends, v50 n3 p330-49 Win 2002
Presents a background on theory in knowledge organization, which has moved from an epistemic stance of pragmatism and rationalism (based on observation of the construction of retrieval tools), to empiricism (based on the results of empirical research). Discusses historicism, external validity, classification, user-interface design, and bibliometric research. (Contains 65 references.) (Author/LRW)
