Resumen
Objective: This work presents a proposal of fundamental categories, based on the work of Ranganathan and the Classification Research Group, to be used to construct a faceted navigation interface for a digital library of thesis and dissertations. Methods: A research of applied nature, qualitative approach and exploratory type was carried out, which uses as methods the literature review, the documentary research and a domain analysis combining the bibliometric study and terminological study approaches. Results: Based on the domain analysis, as well as on the consulted theoretical framework, the following fundamental categories were created: Thing, Kind, Process, Operation, Product, By-product, Space and Time. Conclusions: The fundamental categories proposed in this work can contribute significantly to building a faceted search engine for retrieving theses and dissertations in a digital library. Thus, it is expected to eliminate the difficulties currently encountered by users when using a textual search field.
