Fractals in classification systems
Tóm tắt
Analysis of different systems of knowledge classification has shown the presence of statistically stable laws in them. The main property of theses systems is the property of self similarity, which allows us to consider classification systems as some type of fractal. Based on the common systems of knowledge classification, the UDC and US Library of Congress Classification and Mathematics Subject Classification 2000, these fundamental statistical laws are shown.
