Summary of Classification
The process of determining which product category of the tariff schedules applies to a given imported item. There are more than 7,300 categories in the tariff schedules of the UNITED STATES (read this and related legal terms for further details) and, with very few exceptions, every imported item must be classified into one of them for duty and other purposes. (Main Author: William J. Miller)
Classification in Legal Information Retrieval
The following is a basic concept of Classification in relation to information retrieval
. In addition to this, Classification may be applied to legal texts, including case law, legislation and scholarly works. Classification literally means to place items in classes, resulting in groupings of items sharing some similarity. By extension, it can refer to the creation and/or naming of these classes. By further extension, it often includes the arrangement of classes in a logical, relational, non-alphanumeric order. At the fundamental level, indexing and classification are the same process, because in both operations, messages must be analyzed, and based on this analysis, grouped into categories or classes. Finally, these groupings must be named and arranged to provide access. At the more superficial level, but reflecting its most common usage, classification refers to the logical, relational (non-alphanumeric) arrangement of classes, in contrast to alphanumeric indexes in which classes are simply arranged in alphanumeric order on the basis of their names.
Classing in Legal Information Retrieval
The following is a basic concept of Classing in relation to information retrieval
. In addition to this, Classing may be applied to legal texts, including case law, legislation and scholarly works. The act creating classes and assigning items to classes or placing items into classes. See also classification.
Library of Congress Classification System in Law Libraries
The follow definition of Library of Congress Classification System is of use in law library research: A classification system developed by the Library of Congress for its collection, and used by most of the nation's college and university libraries.
Incremental Approach to Classification Learning, the Law and other Social Sciences
An approach to incremental classification learning is proposed. Classfication learning is based on approximation of a given partitioning of objects into disjoint blocks in multivalued space of attributtes. Good approximation is defined in the form of good maximally redundant classification test or good formal concept
. A concept of classification context is introduced. Four situations of incremental modification of classification context are considered: adding and deleting objects and adding and deleting values of attributes. Algorithms of changing good concepts in these incremental situations are given and proven.[1]
