AB - The Investigation Reports produced by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission represent the most comprehensive state-led investigations into historical incidents of injustice, serving as crucial records that uncover the truth and establish state accountability. This study aims to propose a facet classification system that effectively reflects the multidimensional characteristics of state violence cases and enables more precise categorization and retrieval to enhance the usability of these reports. To this end, the study first established provisional basic facets based on Ranganathan’s PMEST facets. Second, user interviews were conducted to identify areas for improving current search functionalities and to determine practical search attributes. Third, terminology extracted from the Investigation Reports was synthesized and hierarchically structured to formulate a draft facet classification system. The proposed system consists of six primary facets: perpetrating entity, incident type, type of violation, location, time of occurrence, and truth-finding determination status. Some facets include secondary and, where appropriate, tertiary categories to support more granular and refined searching.
