Uma proposta de classificação facetada para organização e recuperação da informação do acervo técnico da Força Aérea Brasileira

Abstract

This work presents a proposal for classification of Brazilian Air Force (FAB- acronym in Portuguese) aircraft operation and maintenance documents, based on the principles of faceted classification. It aims to analyze technical publications of the FAB, in its descriptive and thematic components, in order to obtain elements to subsidize a faceted classification and to apply the principles of the faceted classification, to define the classificatory categories and facets, seeking for improvements in the Information retrieval to users. A classification of FAB technical publications requires specialized treatment for the organization of the collection and the retrieval of intellectual content. This study describes the Classification Theory, especially the Facet Classification, and about characteristics of Knowledge Organization Systems and Information Retrieval Systems. This is an exploratory research, a documentary analysis, carried out in two phases, being the first an analysis of the technical publications and the second an analysis of principles of the faceted classification. It presents as main results the identification of the characteristics and peculiarities of the technical publications of the operation and maintenance of FAB aircraft and the definition of terms, the categorization of the facets and grouping of the terms within each facet in the composition of the classification proposed for organization and representation of the documents In the FAB libraries. The conclusion on the feasibility of using the fundamental principles of the Facet Classification Theory for the organization and representation of the documents of operation and maintenance of the Brazilian Air Force aircraft.
