   Reading tips

   What categories are, how they are used in information management, and how changes in the understanding of human cognitive processes have altered theories of categorization over the years.

   Reading tips

   The terms “classification” and “categorization””are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same. Having a set of categories is not sufficient to create a classification. A classification must be principled so that we know where to place new items and entities in accordance with our system.
