Ranganathan's Facet Terminology

The question asks to identify the meaning of 'Latent Facet' in S.R. Ranganathan's classification terminology.

Latent Facet Definition

In Ranganathan's system for library classification:

  • A Latent Facet refers to a facet that is implied or inherent within the subject but is not explicitly stated or visible. It is essentially a hidden component of the subject being classified.
  • This contrasts with manifest facets, which are clearly present and identifiable.
  • The concept helps in a deeper analysis of the subject structure, considering underlying characteristics that might influence its classification.

Therefore, the most accurate description of a 'Latent Facet' is a Hidden Facet.
