What is Faceted Classification ? It is Developed by S.R. Ranganathan . Is it applicable In DDC ?

Faceted classification is a system in which the particular concept is categorised in diffrent categories i. e. facets and classified accordingly. Example is Colon Classification devised by Dr. S. R. Ranganathan in which title is divided in diffrent facets i. e. Personality, Matter, Energy, Space and Time. DDC is not a faceted classification scheme. It is allmost enumerative classification scheme.
