The main characteristics of the SPHINX Classification System.

It is a universal classification system,
which structures real word elements similar to the way like our brain stores information. With the SPHINX system you can classify everything easily in a coherent manner:

You can classify and organize everything with its help :

The files on your computer,

but also documents like business information,

information related to personal subjects like health, food,

information related to studies, scientific archives.

Everything can be stored or saved in an organized manner for later rapid retrieval when needed.

Application examples

A major useful application is the maintenance of living growing computer-based archives.

Image libraries can be organized by topic.

Projects can be classified, helping to optimize planning.

At present most explanation is in English. But soon...

The classification system will progressively be extended for German, might be, soon also for French and Spanish. This depends from stated demand. Also intented for the languages ZH(CH), RU, AR, PT, JP and other languages if demand is stated.

Translation is not very important, due to a special linguistic feature:
The classification list itself is 'omni-language': The categories are defined using words adopted by most languages of the World (the 'Pluranto' method, read more about in in the explanation accompanying the list).

Anyway, the classification structure is language-independent. So everybody can translate the category names into any other language of his choice.

How can you get the codes?

Lists with some basic main classification codes are progressively published on this site. Please go to rhe corresponding link - shown at the beginning of this text.

The lists are very short. They only include some basic codes.

This is sufficient, due to the recursive character of the system:

You can create and add to it own subcategories whenever needed for your specicific classification needs. It ist just done by combining codes.

Example:
Code 'P = publishing.
Code 'E =economics.

Code 'Y =problems (or also for history).
Publishing - and its economic aspects: 'PE...
Investment - related to media: 'EP...
Investment losses - related to media: 'EPY

The SPHINX classification system is under copyright.

But it is free for personal use or for professional use within businesses of up to 5 employees.

Individual use by employees has no restriction. It is also always free of fee.

Only if the classification code system is used in a centralized manner with same code adaptation within the whole organization, then this requires a fee-based licence agreement.

Extended versions (NOT included)

(NOT included in the basic free version offered here.)

Information on licence fees for use in more important organizations (above 5 employees) is supplied on request :

          ok @ aha7.com

The annual fee is very low, with an amount depending from the size of an organization. It is a membership fee, in order to finance ongoing ''official'' definition of additional classification categories. The membership fee is surely cheaper than defining additional codes by own employees

The fee-based version comprises a coherent recursive classification concept, enabling thousands and ten thousands of classification codes within one coherent code definition system.

Several hundred samples of standardized codes are supplied with the complete version, covering most needs in business, services, media archives, information repositories, and so on.

Software : Automatic content and context recognition, auto-learning of language features

(NOT included in the basic free version offered here.)

A classification system is evidently suitable for content analysis of text documents.

Various advanced software of this type has been developed in relationship with this classification system. This is in daily application. It can be organized for speed efficiency. Therefore it fits for implementation in highly portable and most-used languages like PERL and PHP, locally or in Internet applications.

It requires heavy-weight development on a difficulty level of systems software. So it is only suitable for major organizations which are willing to finance this type of development. Development has to be outsourced. It concerns the interface between human intelligence and machine intelligence and linguistics.

This type of programming needs does not cover with the standard profile of programming skills. Typically, programmers who are employed by a business company for maintenance of a software system, are too specialized for dealing with such problems related to linguistics and "artificial intelligence".
