Resumo
The teaching-learning of classification for Brazilian
Information Science education requires the
apprehension of the use of table mechanisms for the
formation of a notation or a document classification
number and also to understand the variables that
must be taken into account in the act of classifying
an information resource. We start from the premise
that classification is an act inherent to the human
being, and, at the same time, involved in
complexity, requiring a dimensional knowledge
about things for the classification process. Based on
Jansen (2008), this study explores the complexity of
classification through the discussion of the
taxonomy of Chinese animals, presented by Jorge
Luís Borges (1981). It seeks to answer the objective
question: What lessons can we learn from TAB,
which is a classification built for the representation
of Chinese animals, in order to contribute to the
teaching-learning of classification of documentary
resources? To this end, it conducted a narrative
review and sought conceptual inputs from
Aristotle's hierarchical principles: Rationale;
Structure; Disjunction; Thoroughness; Clarity;
Uniformity; and Explicitness and precision. These
principles were scrutinized and related to the 14
classes of Borges' Taxonomy, enabling a heuristic
analysis and pointing out some of the mistakes that
can be made in the construction of a classification
system.
Keywords: Classification, Bibliographic
classification, Complexity of classification, Borges'
taxonomy lessons, Hierarchical principles of
Aristotle.
