Abstract
Documentation is faced with the following problem. On the one hand we have the world's literature, in many languages; on the other, an inquirer with a question. Documentation has to select, from a vast mass of words, the few texts that are most closely relevant to an inquiry. It is this selection process that makes use of classification.Keywords
