A faceted classification system is a method of organizing information or data into multiple categories or "facets" that can be used to filter and sort the information. Each facet represents a distinct aspect or attribute of the information, such as its topic, format, author, or date. A user can then combine different facets to narrow down the search results and find exactly what they are looking for. Faceted classification systems are commonly used in libraries, museums, and e-commerce websites to help users find relevant information or products.
