  • He would examine complex phenomena, break his observations into small pieces, and then attempt to connect the pieces together in a systematic way. This method has often been called the Analytico-Synthetic method.
  • Rather than creating a slot to insert the object into, one starts with the object and then collects and arranges all the relevant pieces on the fly. This allows for greater flexibility and a high degree of specificity.

    • This is very similar to the current practice of tagging. A more flexible way of classifying items/phenomena/things.

  • Colon Classification
    Besides these laws, Ranganathan is also famous for the Colon Classification system, a widely influential but rarely used classification system. This is his greatest achievement and where he developed most of his most famous ideas, including facets and facet analysis. The system is again based on Ranganathan looking for “universal principles” inherent in all knowledge. His belief was that if he could identify these, organizing around them would be more intuitive for the user.

  An Introduction to the Thought of S.R. Ranganathan for Information Architects “Ranganathan aimed big—he was looking for the fundamental laws that underlie experience and it quickly became an obsession.”
