formal_approach

The **formal approach** argues that content classification should be formally structure and centrally managed, for example by an expert cataloguer, taxonomist or ontology engineer (an ontology is an explicit formal representation of a body of knowledge).

In my search of the literature on formal approach to content structures and content classification I focus in particulare on semantic community web portals, research from the Semantic Web project and concepts of emergent semantics and ontology engineering.
