Abstract
This study explores the construction of a faceted vocabulary that can be used as a mechanism for organizing Webbased
resources. After analyzing the manual process of faceted vocabulary construction using existing organizational
structures to identify heuristics for automating the construction process, we modeled a hybrid, semi-automatic
approach to facet generation that integrates the strengths of manual and automatic methods. This approach is based
on the organization of terms according to the meanings of their suffixes. Although this heuristic could not usefully
organize the majority of terms of the lexicon bases to which it was applied, it nevertheless shows promise as a
component of hybrid classification.
