Aarne–Thompson classification system

Aarne–Thompson classification system
The Aarne–Thompson tale type index is a multivolume listing designed to help folklorists identify recurring plot patterns in the narrative structures of traditional folktales, so that folklorists can organize, classify, and analyze the folktales they research. First developed by Antti Aarne (1867–1925) and published as Verzeichnis der Märchentypen in 1910, the tale type index was later translated, revised, and enlarged by Stith Thompson (1885–1976) in 1928 and again in 1961.[1] The Aarne–Thompson tale type index organizes folktales into broad categories like Animal Tales, Fairy Tales, Religious Tales, etc. Within each category, folktale types are further subdivided by motif patterns until individual types are listed. Use in folkloristics[edit] According to D. Organizing folktale types[edit] The Aarne–Thompson tale type index divides tales into sections with an "AT" number for each entry. Closely related folktales are often grouped within a type. Hans-Jörg Uther[edit] Response[edit]

List of fairy tales A modern definition of the fairy tale, as provided by Jens Tismar's monologue in German, is a story that differs "from an oral folk tale"; is written by "a single identifiable author"; can be characterised as "simple and anonymous"; and exists in a mutable and difficult to define genre with a close relationship to folktales.[1] Jump up ^ Zipes, xvJump up ^ Laura Gibbs (July 12, 2003).

As of a recent post on Google Books and the research of History, our quiet little blog here on academic history, activism, and spirituality has suddenly gotten more notoriety than it's accustomed to. Hi world! Thanks for stopping by. To carry on with the thread of how information travels for academics, and what the 'net is doing, let's talk about another of my favorite sites for research, del.icio.us. Delicious is the Rome, Jerusalem, and Paris of my existence as an academic these days. It's where I make my friends, how I get the news, and where I go to trade. Why? 1) it sorts things. For two years I've been using Delicious as an information organizer. The result is a navigable taxonomy of my thoughts. After a year of using delicious for my own bookmarks, helping other people find things becomes remarkably easy. Second reason delicious is cool: 2) it makes things public. Not only can you look at your own bookmarks, but you can also look at others'. I don't check in with them.

The problem of where to file: Is it possible to construct the perfect classification system? A truly first-rate hierarchy would not only have all of the characteristics of FN's hierarchy [_hey - what's an 'FN'?_], but it would also manage to encode the hierarchy in such a way as to eliminate all ambiguity as to where an item might be found. FN comes pretty close. But you can always imagine that it might be hard to decide where that sock garter really goes? [As a result, Hierarchies are horrible at #3: Targeted search and retrieval of individual items. But as you'll, see this is a problem even in faceted classification systems. How the cookie crumbles: The ways in which hierarchies fail: Nobody builds semantically pure hierarchies, it's just too much work. Look at the Finder screenshot on the HierarchyPapers.

Liste typologique de contes Liste typologique Classification Aarne-Thompson-Üther – des contes populaires de la Collection – Merveilleux des éditions Corti Afin de faciliter le travail des chercheurs et de satisfaire les curieux, voici la liste des contes-types que l’on peut trouver dans les recueils de collectes de contes de la collection Merveilleux des éditions Corti. Cette liste est conforme à la classification internationale de Anti Aarne et Stith Thompson, The Types of the folktales, Helsinki, 1973, (liste dite AT) révisée, dans sa troisième édition par Hans-Jörg Üther (ATU) en 2000. Le titre du conte-type est celui choisi par les deux folkloristes ou celui donné par Paul Delarue et Marie-Louise Tenèze dans leur catalogue raisonné de toutes les variantes françaises des contes : Le Conte populaire français, Maisonneuve et Larose, 1997.

Structure and form of folksonomy tags: The road to the public library catalogue Louise F. Spiteri School of Information Management, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Canada. Email: Louise.Spiteri (at) dal.ca Received May 8, 2007; Accepted June 5, 2007 Abstract Folksonomies have the potential to add much value to public library catalogues by enabling clients to: store, maintain, and organize items of interest in the catalogue using their own tags. Keywords Collaborative tagging; Controlled vocabularies; Folksonomies; Guidelines Introduction Digital document repositories such as library catalogues normally index the subject of their contents via keywords or subject headings. In order to understand more fully these applications, it is important to examine how folksonomies are structured and used, and the extent to which they reflect user needs not found in existing lists of subject headings. Definitions of Folksonomies Folksonomies have been described as "user created metadata . .. . grassroots community classification of digital assets" (Mathes, 2004). Findings

Folksonomies - Cooperative Classification and Communication Through Shared Metadata The Creation of Metadata: Professionals, Content Creators, Users Metadata is often characterized as “data about data.” Metadata is information, often highly structured, about documents, books, articles, photographs, or other items that is designed to support specific functions. Traditionally metadata is created by dedicated professionals. While professionally created metadata are often considered of high quality, it is costly in terms of time and effort to produce. User created metadata is a third approach, and this paper focuses on grassroots community classification of digital assets. One form of explicit user created metadata was popularized in the late 1990’s with link-‍focused websites called weblogs (Blood 2000). Tagging Content in Del.icio.us and Flickr Del.icio.us ( henceforth referred to as “Delicious”) is a tool to organize web pages. “a social bookmarks manager. Delicious is not unique or pioneering in its role as bookmarks manager. From Tags to Folksonomy
