Time, Space, Matter and the Milky Way: Facet Analysis of the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH)

          Time, Space, Matter and the Milky Way:
    Facet Analysis of the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH)

   For my ever-ending (yes, it is _still_ ever-ending) review
of 'neo-conventional' thesauri, I am interested in learning of
_any effort than has performed a Faceted Analysis of the
Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH).

   I'm particularly interested in the any application of
the philosophy of Dr. Facet, S.R. Ranganthan, of Facet
Analysis to LCSH. Other efforts to Facet LCSH are also
of interest. In one or more of his writings, Dr. R
categorized ALL of KNOWLEDGE into Four Major Facets:

                      Time
                      Space
                      Energy
                      Matter
                      Personality

  [He didn't say anything about the Milky Way (that I know
about), but I like the Candy Bar {:->]

   As always, any citations, suggestions, reactions, critiques,
comments, insights [faceted or otherwise] will be most
welcome.

P.S. How About a Conference on Ranganthan to Recognize
Dr. R's contribution to 21st century IR? He _was_ a Mind
A Head of It's Time [:->]
