This paper is an original account of its most recent evolution. ILC is a newly developed classification system, based on phenomena instead of traditional disciplines and featuring various innovative devices. Possible methods for reclassifying BARTOC with ILC2 are discussed.
#SYSTEM LENS RUSSELL ACKOFF CLIFFNOTES UPDATE#
Update of BARTOC data to ILC2 and application of ILC2 to further information systems are envisaged.
ILC1 has been previously applied to the BARTOC directory of KOSs. Only a selection of changed classes is discussed for space reasons. The system can be freely accessed online through a PHP browser as well as in SKOS format.
The most relevant changes are illustrated, with special reference to those of interest to general classification theory, by means of examples of notation for individual classes and combinations of them.Ĭhanges introduced in ILC2 include: the names and order of some main classes the development of subclasses for various phenomena, especially quantities and algebraic structures the order of facet categories and the new category of Disorder notation for special facets distinction of the semantical function of facets (attributes) from their syntactic function. This paper informs about the publication of the second edition of the Integrative Levels Classification (ILC2), a freely-faceted knowledge organization system (KOS), and reviews the main changes that have been introduced as compared to its first edition (ILC1). It is concluded that due to the focus on synthesis, the systems approach has an interdisciplinary meaning, serves as a means of overcoming the fragmentation of knowledge and helps to find new ways to solve scientific and practical problems. Possible reasons for the decline in interest in the systems approach are identified. Particular attention is paid to criticism of the mathematization of the systems approach (or mathematical systems theory). Separate sections are devoted to the highlights of the history of the systems approach, its criticism and the significance. The problem of systems classification is touched upon. Some uses of the concept in knowledge organization are mentioned. The meanings of such concepts of the systems approach as minimal constituent parts, emergence, environment, boundaries, purpose, functions of system and systems hierarchy are revealed. The concepts included in descriptive definitions are divided into concepts of different orders according to their logical meaning. It is proposed to divide the existing definitions of system into descriptive and formal ones. It is shown that the vagueness and ambiguity of the concept of the systems approach is manifested in the use of a number of terms, which are similar in meaning and close in sound to it. The review attempts to compare different points of view on the essence of the systems approach, describe the terminological confusion around it and analyse the numerous definitions of system - a key concept of the systems approach.
