Product Description

Product Description

This is an attempt to simplify the initial study of classification as used for information retrieval. The text adopts a gradual progression from very basic principles, one which should enable the reader to gain a firm grasp of one idea before proceeding to the next.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear Overview, 31 Oct 2004
By A Customer
Hunter's book contains a clear, plain English overview of the subject of classification. I would recommend it to anyone new to the subject or someone who has tried without success to wade through some of the more comprehensive, but frequently turgid, textbooks on the subject. The second edition has slightly changed, and enhanced the style, the material is updated and there is a new (brief) chapter on classification and the internet. Contains useful references and urls.

2.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, but dull, 12 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Classification Made Simple (Paperback)
Hunter covers all types of classification, uses plenty of examples, but still fails to grab the attention of the reader. The chapters are clearly defined but there is little emphasis on creativity or flexible thinking to develop new or 100% appropriate classification solutions - this book will only tell you what already exists and that you may have to apply several different methods of classifying to make sure you meet all the requirements.

However, it does stress that whatever classification method you choose it should be easy for the person who has to use it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best in class, 14 Jan 2009
This book is the best brief introduction to the process of classification available. It works extremely well in the traditional "cat and class" market although should have wider circualtion with people who are involved in designing or teaching the design of databases. The book starts at the basics of classification - which is after all a human skill which saves us from drowning in information overload - and proceeds to explore the necessary detail that is required when larger scale or more complex subjects are analysed. So if you want order rather than chaos in the electronic environment - get your head out of your tag cloud and read Eric Hunter's book.
