Abstract
M-Classi is a new digital tool in the field of knowledge organization. It is conceived primarily as a means of cataloging and interrogating the classifications of the sciences in Islam and those of the cultures with which the Islamicate world came into contact from antiquity to the pre-modern era.The aim of this paper is to present this game changing tool, whose vocation is to become an open-access engine for future research. After briefly recapitulating the current state of the art on Islamic classifications of the sciences and succinctly presenting the specificities of M-Classi’s technical configuration in its current beta version, we review some of the application’s main functionalities and illustrate various aspects of M-Classi’s potential in terms of visualization.
