Classification Scheme - Benefits of Using Classification Schemes

Benefits of Using Classification Schemes

Using one or more classification schemes for the classification of a collection of objects has many benefits. Some of these include:

  • It allows a user to find an individual object quickly on the basis of its kind or group.
  • It makes it easier to detect duplicate objects.
  • It conveys semantics (meaning) of an object from the definition of its kind, which meaning is not conveyed by the name of the individual object or its way of spelling.
  • Knowledge and requirements about a kind of thing can be applied to the members of the kind.

    Through all opposition the personal benefits of the reform [dress] [bracketed word in original] have compensated; but had it been mainly sacrifice, the thought of working for the amelioration of women and the elevation of humanity would still have been the beacon-star guiding me on amid all discouragements.
    Susan Pecker Fowler (1823–1911)

    Science is a dynamic undertaking directed to lowering the degree of the empiricism involved in solving problems; or, if you prefer, science is a process of fabricating a web of interconnected concepts and conceptual schemes arising from experiments and observations and fruitful of further experiments and observations.
    James Conant (1893–1978)
