สรุป	Domain analysis is the socio-cognitive research programme proposed by Birger Hjørland and Hanne Albrechtsen in 1995, which holds that the most fruitful object of study for information science is the knowledge domain understood as a discourse or thought community within society's division of labour. Rather than grounding information organization in the isolated mental processes of an individual user, domain analysis grounds it in the shared literature, paradigms, terminology, and social practices of a subject field. Hjørland and Albrechtsen set out eleven complementary approaches — from producing literature guides and special classifications to bibliometric, historical, and epistemological study — and Clare Beghtol's work on literary warrant and consensus showed how a domain's own published discourse supplies the empirical basis for its categories. The method turns the design of classifications, thesauri, and retrieval systems into an evidence-based study of how a community actually thinks and writes.	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.
