Abstract
Two separate streams of research emerged during the 1930s and 1940s. In India, S.R. Ranganathan developed theory in the context of his work on bibliographic classification systems, and in Israel L. Guttman developed theory in the context of the behavioural sciences. Ranganathan and Guttman used the term and its associated terms (e.g., facet analysis) with identical meanings and each researcher developed analytico-synthetic methods appropriate for his own field. The paper describes the method each field developed for displaying structures, and the two methods are compared. The paper suggests that analysis in general and mapping sentences in particular have properties that can be usefully exploited in the development of all types of classification systems, including but not limited to, bibliographic classification systems.
