Folks,

I'm thinking to write on SR Ranganathan in my PhD thesis which is developing domain ontology using facted classification.

So, we have our model and we name it is DERA (Discipline, Entity, Relations and Attributes). We are working as a research team in the University of Trento in Computer Science Department.

Now, as an expert of Classification, in general I have my observations about the works Sir Ranganathan has done. He is great..but questions:

1. Did he himself followed the principles he devised?

2. For example: Concurrency--and he used obsolete Victorian English. Right?

3. Bias - Did he follow? Let's examine together and we have to examine all of his principles and his integrity for what he told and what he did.

Rest of the things can be discussed over here and in next week, I'll be in DRTC Bangalore writing and talking about all my work and I'll invite the Banglroians to join me in DRTC as my guests.

Beware: Many hearts are going to break when I'll speak and prove something not very fine for you all. I'm going to break all metaphors of Ranganathan Sir. 

Cheers folks. Ciao
