Σύνοψη	Faceted classification design is the constructive engineering of a complete analytico-synthetic scheme for a subject field, turning the conceptual technique of facet analysis into a working classification with facets, ordered arrays, a citation order, and notation. The methodology was codified by Brian Vickery for the British Classification Research Group in his 1960 guide to constructing special schemes, building on S. R. Ranganathan's theory of analytico-synthetic classification. Where facet analysis decomposes subjects into fundamental dimensions, faceted classification design assembles those dimensions into a usable, hospitable, and notation-bearing system, and then tests it against real documents. The result is a scheme that classifies compound subjects by synthesis, grows gracefully as a field expands, and underpins both shelf classification and modern faceted navigation.	Knowledge organization system (KOS) design is the principled specification of the artefacts — classification schemes, thesauri, subject heading lists, taxonomies, name and subject authorities, and ontologies — that organize recorded information for retrieval. Elaine Svenonius's The Intellectual Foundation of Information Organization recast this work as the design of bibliographic languages, each with a vocabulary, a semantics, and a syntax, all justified by the user objectives an information system exists to serve: to find, identify, select, and obtain. KOS design begins from those objectives and the entities a domain contains, then specifies controlled vocabulary, fixes the mapping between terms and concepts, defines the syntax for combining terms, and evaluates the result against the objectives and against design principles. Standards such as ANSI/NISO Z39.19 supply the construction rules for the vocabulary layer.
