Grounded Classification : Grounded Theory and Faceted Classification

THISARTIC1,E COMPARES THE QUALITATIVE METHOD Of grounded theory (GT) with Ranganathan’s construction of faceted classifications (FC) in library and information science. Both struggle with a core problem-i.e., the representation of vernacular words and processes, empirically discovered, which will, although ethnographically faithful, be powerful beyond the single instance or case study. The article compares Glaser and Strauss’s (1967) work with that of Ranganathan( 1950).
