Abstract

Reviews different types of principles used in technology classification and their embodiment in varieties of classification schemes. The principles considered are: classification according to historical development; natural laws; branch of production; function within branch of production; or by construction principle. Discusses 4 types of classification: bibliographic, patent, product, and analytical. Explores the extent to which such principles and practice deal with technology in terms of ideas and frameworks rooted in the objective or internal structure of technology or the extent to which they rely on extra-technological concepts and frameworks. Proposes a conceptual framework which expresses the tension between approaches which rely on extra-technological priciples and approaches based on some notion of the objective or internal structure of technology. This takes the form of a contrast between linguistic and taxonomic paradigms
