AB - This study aims to examine how classification system typologies in arts archives affect usability and, on that basis, to propose a typological model of usability. For the research methodology, three institutions were selected as case study subjects: ARKO Arts Archive (ARKO), the Archives of American Art (AAA), and the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF). The comparative analysis was conducted along three axes: classification systems, finding aids, and user services.
The analysis revealed that the classification systems of these institutions operate according to distinct organizational logics reflecting particular characteristics of their respective collections. Based on this, three structural factors were identified: consistency of classification logic, establishment of a hierarchical structure, and the level of integration across the three axes.
Applying these factors, four usability typologies were identified: the Inconsistent Principles Type, the Underdeveloped Hierarchy Type, the Event-Centered Consistent Type, and the Creator-Centered Consistent Type. The findings also show that the presence of finding aids is a key factor determining the level of usability realized within each typology.
