Abstract
[Abstract]
This theoretical paper considers genre as the epistemological foundation for fiction retrieval systems, in
particular the relationship between the individual work and generic systems. It explores the characteristics
of literary genres, and how they are determined, and examines ontological and historical aspects of genre.
It considers the relationship between historically contingent generic transformations and literary genre as
categorising principle. Finally, it offers some suggestions for future design of fiction KOS.
