For another project I'm working on I will be using faceted categories to organize the site's content. As a warm-up for that, I decided to take a crack at creating faceted categories here.

I struggled at first wanting to stick too closely to Ranganathan's five facet approach, but eventually decided on a sixe customized facets more appropriate to the content here.

The six facets are:

• Topic/Personality - What the story is about
• Form/Matter - The lens through which the story is told
• Location - The geographical area affected by the story
• Agent - The organization driving the story
• Constituency - Whom the story effects,
• Date - When the story is posted. Though not a perfect solution, I think with these facets I manage to cover the what, why, where, where, how, who, and when (respectively).

I'll have to make a pass through the archives to clean things up, but I'm satisfied with this solution, though I would appreciate any feedback.

P.S. I used David Raynes SubCategories plugin for MT.
