41. The method of claim 40 wherein the complex-adaptive system selects the dimensional concept taxonomy information and provides it from the second computer system to the first computer system.
40. The method of claim 38 comprising: (a) providing a first computer system including the facet analysis component for defining the shared faceted data set, said facet analysis component further defining from the shared faceted data set a domain-specific faceted data set for a domain to be classified; and (b) providing a second computer system including a classification synthesis component for building the dimensional concept taxonomies for one or more domains, said synthesis component defining the concept definitions and expressing the dimensional concept relationships between the concepts for each of the one or more domains to be classified in accordance with the respective domain-specific faceted data set.
